Abstract:		 Planning consent has been granted for a new grain storage building at Blackburn Hall Farm, Whitwick Green Road, Thurleigh. Albion Archaeology was commissioned to carry out the archaeological works . The only archaeological features revealed during the groundworks were two small, E-W aligned ditches. Although no artefacts were recovered from either ditch and their location matches no known historical boundaries, they were both sealed beneath the subsoil. The alignment of the ditches follows the natural, gently sloping lie of the land, suggesting that they are most likely to have functioned as field drainage ditches; they are notably parallel with a much larger, extant drainage dyke located c. 150m to the south. If, as seems likely, they are of medieval or post-medieval date and therefore contemporaneous with the manor at Blackburn Hall, their recording has made a small contribution to our knowledge of the local agrarian landscape during these periods.
