Abstract:		 An archaeological field evaluation was carried out by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) at 46 Main Street, Orton on the Hill, Leicestershire SK 3095504103 The work was commissioned by Mrs M Whitehouse advance of the development of the site for a new residential dwelling. The site which currently serves as a front garden to 46 Main Street, lies close to historic medieval core of Orton on the Hill and may contribute to the study of rural medieval settlement and East Midlands Research Strategy 6.7.7.2 (Knight et al. 2012: 94; Lewis 2006). Two trenches measuring 9m and 21m in length were excavated within the development area; both were 1.6m in width. The topsoil across the site was shown to be uniform silty loam, over a subsoil of silty clay. The natural sub-stratum across the site was pinkish red clay. The archaeological evaluation did not identify any archaeological features, and no artefacts were recovered. Slight evidence of tree root disturbance was detected in Trench 2. No further work was required. The site archive will be deposited with Leicestershire County Council under the accession number X.A3.2016.
