Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	In TLAHS 73, 1999 (p. 87), the initial results of archaeological work on a development site at Willow Farm, Castle Donington were reported. The investigations provided an opportunity to examine the exploitation of a c.38 hectare landscape encompassing relic river channels and their adjacent banks, and a spur of higher ground extending from the gravel terrace.The exploration of the area, including distinct geographical landscapes, revealed a wide range of archaeological activities. Two groups of pits on the gravel terrace, including a pit containing the charred remains of fruits, nuts and cereal grains, provided evidence of Early Bronze Age activity.During the Middle and Late Bronze Age the area was more extensively exploited, possibly on a seasonal basis, with further evidence including burials surrounded by a ring ditch, two burnt mounds, a roundhouse and numerous pits.The Late Bronze Age saw domestic activity in the form of post-built roundhouses, either side of a pit alignment boundary. The area was reoccupied by a small Anglo-Saxon settlement in the fifth–seventh century AD, which included two post-built halls and at least one sunken featured building.
