Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Desk-based assessment and geophysical survey were undertaken by ASC Ltd between April and June 2007 on land northwest of Bittesby House, Bittesby near Lutterworth, Leicestershire. The focus of the area examined was located on the western side of the disused Midland railway line over part of the site of the medieval village of Bittesby. The western extent of the village and the location and orientation of part of the villages open field system was defined by the geophysical survey. Finds recovered by the Lutterworth Fieldwalking Group have hinted that the village may have its origin in the early/mid Anglo Saxon period. The Norse origin of the village name certainly shows that an extant settlement was renamed, or that a settlement was established during the 9th or 10th century. Records illustrate that the village existed until its arable land was inclosed for sheep pasture and the majority of tenants evicted at the end of the 15th century.
