Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	University of Leicester Archaeological Services were commissioned by Persimmon Homes Ltd to undertake an archaeological evaluation in advance of proposed residential development at South Western Areas A and B Quakesick valley, off Thurmaston Lane, Humberstone There are well-documented Iron Age settlements within close proximity of the proposed development. Geophysical survey had identified a number of possible archaeological features towards the southern edge of the proposed development area. Excavation of evaluation trenches within these areas indicated substantial ground disturbance probably destroying all but the deepest and most substantial archaeological deposits, this ground disturbance affected the majority of the southern and eastern edges of the proposed development area. The excavation of trench 15 uncovered a substantial enclosure ditch, probably Iron Age in date containing complex stratigraphy and evidence of re-use suggesting probable settlement nearby rather than agricultural use.
