Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	An archaeological field evaluation by trial trenching was carried out on land at Leicester Lions RFC, Lutterworth Road, Blaby, Leicestershire (SP 563 966) by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) on 29 January, 2015 (Phase I) and between 6-11 May, 2015 (Phase II). Work was undertaken for Haydn Evans in order to establish the nature, extent, date and significance of any archaeological deposits which may be present, in order to assess the impact of any proposed development on buried remains. Eighteen trenches were excavated across the site achieving a c.4.4% sample of the c.1.81 ha development area. Overall, the result of the trial-trenching was predominately negative for archaeological activity. Topsoil subsoil appears to have survived along the southern edge of the site with minimal disturbance, but the eastern side had suffered extensive modern ground disturbance down to the natural substratum, whilst the northern half of the site (Phase II) had been artificially flattened for use as a sports ground. Faint medieval ridge and furrow could be seen at ground level along the southern side of the site and in Trench 2 on the eastern side, whilst subsurface evidence for furrows also survived across most of the Phase II trenches. Trench 3 uncovered a possible palaeochannel; Trench 5a contained evidence of a possible eaves-drip gully for an Iron Age roundhouse, whilst a solitary post-hole and gully were recorded in Trenches 11a and 13a.
