Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Two heavily truncated urned cremation burials, both radiocarbon dated to the early part of the Middle Bronze Age, were excavated during investigations carried out in advance of residential development on land off Leicester road, Countesthorpe. the burials were made in grog-tempered Deverel-Rimbury style vessels and were located on a natural ridge which traversed the eastern extent of the site from north to south. Two further radiocarbon dates from two pits indicated a later phase of activity on the site in the Middle to late Bronze Age. The absence of any definitive evidence for settlement on the site suggests this may have been a liminal area reserved for funerary and ritual activity.
