Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	This article presents the results of an excavation at Temple Grange, Rothley, Leicestershire that revealed significant evidence for settlement activity during both the Early and Late Neolithic, and it is one of a growing number of sites of this date in the Soar Valley, close to its confluence with the River Wreake. The Early Neolithic settlement, dated c.3500–3300 BC, comprises a possible sunken-featured building, and a series of pits containing structured deposits of flint and ‘modified’ Carinated Bowl pottery. The Late Neolithic settlement, associated with Grooved Ware and dated c.2900–2500 BC, contained a circular timber building, and other ephemeral post-built structures and pits. The evidence for a Late Neolithic settlement at nearby Rothley Lodge Farm is also summarised here in advance of fuller publication. These two sites represent the most tangible evidence of Neolithic settlement so far found in Leicestershire, and the discussion attempts to place these discoveries within the context of current thinking on settlement of this date in Britain, arguing that the practice of ‘special deposition’ occurring at this location may be a form of ‘place making’.
