Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	An archaeological field evaluation was undertaken on land between Thurlaston Lane and Mill Lane east of Earl Shilton, Leicestershire (SP 478 980) by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) between the 17th and 31st March 2010. Previous geophysical results had suggested high archaeological potential therefore a programme of trial trenching was requested by Leicestershire County Council's Historic and Natural Environment Team. The work was undertaken on behalf of Charles Church North Midlands in advance of proposed residential development. Twenty-six 30m long trenches were excavated within the proposed development area targeting geophysical anomalies and testing blank areas. Overall the evaluation produced clear evidence for archaeological activity in twelve trenches. In the site's south-western corner a rectilinear ditched enclosure with associated pits, gullies and post-holes was identified as Iron Age in origin, whilst to the east the circular crop-mark and geophysical anomaly listed in the HER as a possible Neolithic or Early Bronze Age henge or enclosure proved to be medieval in origin, possibly a windmill mound. Across the north-western quarter of the site a substantial undated ditch was identified in four trenches on an approximate north-east to south-west alignment. This and several adjacent, parallel and perpendicular gullies and ditches are also suggested to be of Iron Age or Roman date. The site archive will be held by Leicestershire County Council Museum Services under the accession number X.A.39.2010.
