Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	In spring 2005 an evaluation comprising desk-based and building assessments and trial trenching was undertaken at Home Farm, Bradgate Road, Anstey. The work was required in relation to the proposed residential development of the site, involving rebuilding of the farmhouse, conversion of a barn, demolition of other farm buildings and some new build. The desk-based assessment did not indicate the presence of anything of archaeological significance within the assessment site. However, the site lies within the historic core of Anstey, and has the potential to contain evidence of occupation from the late Saxon period onwards. From the available cartographic evidence it is apparent that the site has been continuously occupied since at least the mid 18th century. No evidence for occupation pre-dating the late 19th century was found in the evaluation. The building assessment indicated that the two smaller brick structures in the farmyard were of mid 20th-century date. The large stone-built barn on the south side of the site appeared from its roof structure to be of 17th century date, but the structure had subsequently undergone significant alteration, including rebuilding of its east gable in brick, and the demolition of its west bay. To the north, a second stone-built range appeared to be of 18th-century date, with a later roof. Its original function was not determined: latterly it had been a pigsty.
