Abstract:		 Northamptonshire Archaeology was commissioned by the Levitt Partnership to undertake an excavation on land off Windsor Street, Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire, prior to residential and commercial development. The excavation revealed a large medieval boundary ditch aligned east-west, which had been maintained by re-cutting on at least three occasions. Internal plot divisions were suggested by a handful of postholes and shallow gullies. The boundaries were not recorded upon the historic Ordnance Survey maps, and had disappeared by the 19th century, when small scale sand quarrying took place. Pottery recovered included one sherd of residual Roman pottery, a single Saxon sherd from the large ditched boundary, a small amount of medieval and post-medieval sherds. The later quarry pits contained a small amount of residual Iron Age, medieval and post-medieval pottery.
