Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation and assessment was carried out on stone boundary walls on a plot of land at Towles Pastures, Castle Donington, Leicestershire. The central dividing wall was constructed of stone and in places a foundation trench had been cut and packed with reddish-brown clay. The date of the wall is uncertain but it probably dates to the 19th century. There was no evidence for a pre-existing boundary, although a small gully was encountered at the western end of the wall, running parallel and to the south of the wall. The wall had been extensively patched, repaired and repointed over the years, with the last major repairs probably being carried out in the 1950s or 60s. With the exception of two residual sherds of 18th-century pottery, there were no finds from the site pre-dating the 19th century. There was little evidence for walls associated with the former building on the north side of the dividing wall, as shown on old Ordnance Survey maps up until the 1960s. However, the remains of possible floor surfaces associated with the building were revealed.
