Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	This document provides a report on the results of an evaluation and subsequent excavation at Forest Hill Golf Club, Botcheston (SK 4878 0642). The fieldwork was in advance of the golf course extension where aspects of a clayland Iron Age farmstead settlement have been investigated including an enclosure, two circular structures and various other features. The pottery from the site is exclusively Iron Age, dating between 175 B.C. and 20 A.D. The settlement form is consistent with other excavated examples in Leicestershire and Rutland of a similar date. The form of the site coupled with the artefacts and environmental evidence gathered suggest a small farming community that grew crops and kept domesticated animals for food, as well as supplementing their diet with local gathering of wild species.
