Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at land to the south of Leicester Lane and west of St. John''s Road, Enderby, Leicestershire (SP 5111 9958) by the University of Leicester Archaeological Services between the 23rd January and 6th February 2006 for Leicestershire County Council. This work followed an SMR search and geophysical survey that both highlighted the potential for archaeological features to be present within the application area. The evaluation forms part of an archaeological impact assessment for the proposed Aylestone Park and Ride Scheme. Eighteen trenches totalling 682m in length and 1.8m wide were machine excavated (equalling an area of 1228m² in order to target specific anomalies highlighted by the geophysical survey as well as to evaluate ''archaeologically blank'' areas. Positive results were obtained from three trenches excavated. Trench 1 located the remains of ditch systems suggested by the geophysics and Trench 3 located postholes and gullies that may represent the remains of an undated roundhouse structure. These features may indicate a continuation of the Iron Age farmstead found to the north along the eastern boundary of the site. Trench 18 was located across the proposed line of the Fosse Way Roman road. Remains of the agger (the built up embankment) and a possible roadside ditch were revealed within the southeast end of the trench although the upper layers have been truncated by ploughing. Beyond this a gravel spread was also observed that could either represent a precursor to the road or hardcore that was laid down during the construction phase of the road. A rare brooch that may date as early as the first Century BC was found in close proximity to this surface.
