Abstract:		 A programme of archaeological fieldwork was carried out by ULAS between August 2007 and September 2008, in advance of, and during, work on the A47 Earl Shilton Bypass (SP 476 991 - SP 453 964). This work included photographic and field survey, trial trenching, auger surveying, excavation and watching briefs. Work focussed in particular on two sites, Site A at Elmesthorpe south of Earl Shilton (reported elsewhere), and Site D reported here on land to the North of Mill Lane east of Earl Shilton. At Site D (SP479 979; X.A183 2007) prehistoric and transitional Roman features were exposed including two ring ditches representing ploughed out barrows, pit alignments, and a series of parallel and intercutting ditches. Additional evaluation work also reported here at Breach Lane (SP474 970; X.A241 2007) to the south did not identify any archaeological features, with only two unstratified flints recovered. The work was carried out for Leicestershire County Council. Leicestershire Museums will hold the archives under the Accession numbers X.A183 2007 (site D), XA241 2007 (Breach Lane).
