Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Archaeological excavation at Rothley, north of the present parish church and its churchyard, recovered the burials of up to 149 individuals at least partly in situ, along with further disarticulated remains. Standing remains of Roman buildings, probably part of a former villa complex, may have still been extant when burial commenced, perhaps as early as the late seventh century and certainly by the early to mid-eighth century – as established by radiocarbon dating. The cemetery had probably been attached to an undocumented minster, presumably the pre-cursor to the existing church. Many of the burials had been heavily disturbed, with extensive deposits of reburied and disarticulated bone. There was a single well-defined primary row of burials, further partial rows and a few outliers. The numerous gaps appear to be genuine and not solely a result of later disturbance. Burial in this area appears to have ceased by around the end of the tenth century, after which there has been little activity within the site.
