Abstract:		 An archaeological field evaluation was carried out by University of Leicester Archaeological Services on land west of Gaulby Road, Billesdon, Leicestershire. A heritage statement for the site had identified some potential for Iron Age and Roman remains to be extant on the land, which is currently under pasture. A geophysical survey was carried out on the site, which identified linear and discrete features, possibly enclosure ditches and other features associated with an Iron Age or Romano-British settlement. Due to heavy rain the original plan to excavate 12 trenches over three areas had to be modified, with the approval of Leicestershire County Council, as much of the southern fields were waterlogged. Consequently, only seven trenches were excavated on the northern part of the site. All but two of the seven trenches contained archaeological features, many of which contained Romano-British pottery mainly dating from the 2nd century. These were mostly linear features representing enclosure ditches and gullies, most likely associated with the outlying enclosures of a Romano-British farm or settlement.
