Abstract:		 Bradgate Park is a large open area of historic parkland four miles north-west of Leicester, managed by the Bradgate Park Trustees for the benefit of the local and wider public. Most of the park has open access during daylight hours and there are miles of informal paths. In recent years a large percentage of this area has been blanketed by bracken, growing to a height of well over 1m and getting on for 2m in places, completely hiding the ground surface. In the spring of 2012 the park authorities extended their clearance of bracken, allowing the surface of the ground, including any undulations and earthworks, to be seen clearly for the first time. This was noted by Anthony Squires, who had been studying the history of the park for many years. He shared his research with Robert Hartley, formerly a curator and archaeologist with the Leicestershire County Council Museums Service, who previously had also observed historic features in the park, mainly from air survey in the 1980s and early 1990s.
