Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation by trial trenching was carried out by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) at Measham Fields Farm, Swepstone Road, Measham (SK 3491 1174) in advance of the proposed extension of the neighbouring open cast coal mine into the farm area. Cropmarks associated with prehistoric features and Roman artefacts have been located nearby. Fieldwalking undertaken on the fields associated with the open cast mine prior to their excavation has yielded prehistoric artefacts from the Mesolithic through to the Neolithic period. The early 19th century maps of the site also show buildings on the northern part of the site, the remains of which may be located by trial trenching. A total of four trenches were placed on pasture on the northern part of the site and within the farm itself. No archaeological features were discovered within four of the trenches and the trench placed within the area of the farm revealed heavily disturbed ground and a large amount of made-up ground. Trench 02, placed on pasture to the north-east contained a linear feature of unknown date and origin. The feature was filled with colliery waste and so is likely to be fairly modern in date.
