Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken for Gadsby Estates Limited by the University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) between the 19th and 24th of September 2007. The purpose of the work was to excavate five evaluation trenches in advance of a proposed residential development on land at 67-69, Main Street, Lyddington, planning application FUL/2004/0274 and RES/2007/0402. A further footprint strip took place on the 14th of November. The site is located within the historic settlement core (MLE9484) and designated Conservation Area (DLE474) of Lyddington village and therefore within an area of archaeological potential. In view of this, the proposed building works were seen as being likely to uncover and disturb any surviving archaeological deposits and features. Five trenches were excavated across the 0.5ha site in order to target the areas where proposed construction work would cause most disturbance. Overlying topsoil and subsoil deposits were removed to reveal any archaeological deposits and/or undisturbed natural substratum. The footprint strip, based upon the results of the trial trenching, stripped an area along the street frontage in the southern area of the site. Evidence of an ironstone wall, no earlier than the 15th century, was found within the orchard area along with a high degree of tree root disturbance. A 10th to 12th century occupation layer was observed along the street frontage area sealed by a later undated clay layer, fragmentary stone wall and brick drain. The wall and drain may belong to the 19th century. The additional excavation work revealed two postholes and a truncated gully beneath the 10th to 12th century occupation layer.
