Abstract:		 The evaluation provided evidence of a restricted area of relatively dense archaeological remains which dated to the 12th or 13th centuries. The features, mostly pits and gullies, were badly truncated and lay beneath ridge and furrow remains. It is likely the features related to small-scale settlement, perhaps an isolated farmstead, in the vicinity of the medieval village of Humberstone. Despite their truncation the majority of the features produced datable evidence suggesting they related to domestic activities. In other areas of the site evidence of recent landscaping was recorded and many of the geophysical anomalies related to land drains. [Au(abr)]
