Abstract:		 During November 2014 Trent and Peak Archaeology carried out an archaeological watching brief on behalf of Ms Victoria Marcer at 31 High Street, Barrow upon Soar, Leicestershire. prior to the building of a garage to the rear of the property. The work was required as a condition of Charnwood Borough Council planning permission P/12/0986/2. The proposed development site lies within the historic core of Barrow upon Soar, first mentioned in the Domesday Book in 1086 as Barhau. The earliest surviving building is the medieval Church of the Holy Trinity located to the north-east of the site. Extending down Beverage Street to the east are a number of post-medieval houses. Later buildings associated with the Midland Counties Railway which opened in 1840, are located to the south. The village has been linked to the production of lime since the medieval period. A limekiln is recorded to the south of the site on the 1884 Ordnance Survey map. Prehistoric through to Anglo-Saxon activity has been encountered within the parish. The former includes a Neolithic arrowhead which was discovered in a back garden to the north-west. Historic maps indicate that the site has remained largely unchanged since 1884. The principal alterations occurred between 1884 and 1921 when the wooded area to the rear of the property was removed. During this time additional small outbuildings were erected to the south-west of the house. By 1971 these buildings had been remodelled and had been removed completely by 2014. Despite the presence of significant archaeological remains within the vicinity of the development, the foundation trenches revealed no archaeological features or deposits with the exception of a former watercourse, or possible ditch, located in the western part of the site. It was north to south orientated and had become infilled by the publication of the First Edition Ordnance Survey map of 1884.
