Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	An archaeological inspection was carried out by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) during ground-works at Daybell's Barns, Deven Farm, Grantham Road, Bottesford (SK 807 389). The work was commissioned by Herbert Daybell and was required as a condition of the planning consent, issued by Melton Borough Council for a new dwelling and separate garage at the site, which was formerly unused. The site lay adjacent to where medieval and post-medieval remains were revealed during construction of a new housing estate in 2008. The stripping of upper soils over the footprints of the new dwelling and garage were monitored by an archaeologist. Due to site constraints this consisted of three trenches excavated over the site. Two trenches were placed over the house footprint (Trenches 1 and 2) and one over the garage footprint (Trench 3). The topsoil across the site was very deep and in Trench 3 had been disturbed. Trench 1 contained a water pipe trench and Trench 3 was negative for features. Trench 2 contained a lozenge shaped pit, which contained two fills containing a cattle bone as well as a sherd of Roman pottery and a sherd of medieval pottery dating from around the 13th to 15th centuries. The Roman pottery is likely to be residual, giving a probable medieval date for the pit. This mirrored the finding of the neighbouring evaluation where medieval and post-medieval features were discovered, also containing a number of residual Roman artefacts. The work at Daybell's Barns confirms that the medieval activity continues into the development area. The archive for the site will be deposited with Leicestershire museums with accession number X.A38.2016.
