Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Between November and December 2005 Northamptonshire Archaeology carried out open area excavation on three separate blocks of development land at Melton Road, Burton on the Wolds, Leicestershire. A late Iron Age ditch in the north-eastern area suggested the presence of an early focus of occupation to the north-east, perhaps set within a ditched enclosure. This was superseded in the early Roman period, the mid-1st to 2nd centuries AD, by a system of rectilinear field or plot boundaries. Late Roman activity lay to the west, where a complex of large intercutting quarry pits are dated to the 2nd to 4th centuries AD. The small quantity of pottery and lack of other artefacts may indicate that the Roman sites were some distance away from the associated settlements. By the 12th century there was a medieval field boundary running north to south in the western area with minor east to west boundaries.
