Abstract:		 The excavation revealed evidence for a mid Iron Age enclosed settlement. The site, originally identified as a cropmark, comprised of a large 'D'-shaped enclosure (65m x 50m enclosing c.2500m²) lying adjacent to a smaller 'D'-shaped enclosure (45m x 25m enclosing 915m²). The enclosed settlement was located in the Soar valley, on the edge of the gravel terrace. Within the enclosures were a range of associated settlement features, including roundhouses, sub-enclosures, pit groups and metalworking evidence. The results add significantly to our understanding of small Iron Age farmsteads in the region, revealing much on how the people of Iron Age Leicestershire lived and utilised the landscape.
