Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	A strip, plan and sample excavation was undertaken of the footprint of a new garage and outbuilding on land at The Paddocks, St. Peter's Road, Arnesby, Leicestershire (SP 61729 92121). The site lies to the south of the church of St. Peter in the village core of Arnesby and also adjacent to the site of the former medieval moated manor house and associated fishponds (now a Scheduled Monument). An initial trench was excavated along the western edge of the proposed building, followed by a full strip of the area down to finished floor layers. The excavation revealed a number of areas of disturbed ground, with brick rubble and modern pottery within the soil. At the southern end of the site the remains of a demolished wall were revealed. The disturbances may be related to a small building that map evidence shows existed on the northern part of the site in the 1950s. The wall appeared to be of fairly modern construction, possibly Victorian. A well lay nearby, but was not disturbed by the excavation. A pipe trench excavated prior to the visit also showed a layer of rubble underneath the topsoil. The rubble within the soil sequence may be related to the construction of the nearby modern house at The Paddocks. Early maps show a possible garden or orchard in this area, which the wall and well may be associated with.
