Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by ULAS on behalf of Truman Contractors (East Midlands) Ltd. on land to the rear of 16-30, Main Road, Old Dalby, Leicestershire (SK 674 237). This work was carried out in advance of proposed residential development. Six trenches were excavated from which it was concluded that the land had remained relatively undisturbed since the medieval period. Medieval pottery was found in the topsoil of all the trenches. Trenches 1,2,3,and 5 contained a number of ditches; trenches 3,4 and 6 contained post holes and trenches 4 and 6 contained gullies. All features were sampled and the majority were found to contain stratified pottery dating from the 12th - 14th century. Trench 3 was situated so as to bisect an earthwork in the eastern corner of the site. The evaluation indicates medieval settlement and provides evidence of metal working, smelting and smithing, and the diet and economy of the settlement in the form of plant and faunal remains. The site archive will be held by Leicestershire County Council, Heritage Services (Accession Number XA134.2005).
