Abstract:		 An archaeological field evaluation was carried out by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) on land to the rear of 36-44, Thorpe End, Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire (SK 7561 1915) in advance of a proposed new development at the site, consisting of the erection of three new retail units and12 two bedroom flats. The site lies within the historic medieval core of Melton and close to archaeological finds of medieval date, including a medieval oven from a site less than 100m east of the site. The site currently consists of a yard and parking area. A single 19m x 3.5m trench was excavated to depth of between 0.6m-1m. No archaeological features were discovered. However, a sherd of medieval pottery and a prehistoric flint core were discovered from within soil sequences within the trench. Therefore, there may be some potential for archaeological deposits from these periods across the site. The archive for the work will be deposited with Leicester Museums with accession number X.A14.2012.
