Abstract:		 An archaeological field evaluation by trial trenching was undertaken at the proposed Long Moor Surface Mining scheme, Ashby Road, Ravenstone with Snibstone, Leicestershire by University of Leicester Archaeological Services in advance of the proposed coal extraction. Three archaeological sites dating between the Neolithic to the Romano-British period have been identified close by. The vicinity of the proposed development site to these sites was seen to necessitate prior archaeological investigation. Thirty-five trenches were excavated across c. 2km of present arable farmland in order to evaluate the proposed line of the haul road, areas of potential alluvium/colluvium and an area immediately adjacent to a known flint scatter. Only Trenches 3 and 6, located on the proposed line of the haul road, identified any clear archaeological deposits that included two undated pits and a series of ditches. A single sherd of 13th century pottery was recovered from one of the excavated ditches.
