Abstract:		 University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) carried out an archaeological evaluation by trial trenching on land to the south-east of Coalville, Leicestershire (SK 437 120). The work was undertaken as part of an archaeological impact assessment in advance of a proposed development. Geophysical survey across the site had identified a number of potential features and trenches were located to target these anomalies. The evaluation revealed archaeological settlement evidence dating to the Mid to Late Iron Age (400 BC - 43 AD), the mid-late Roman period (2nd to 4th centuries AD), along with further undated activity. Archaeological features were located in 12 of the 38 trenches excavated in Areas 2, 3, and 4. No archaeological features were identified in Area 1, just agricultural features of no archaeological significance. Area 2 contained an Iron Age ditch in Trench 3; the remaining geophysical anomalies were agricultural or geological and of no archaeological significance. Area 3 contained undated ditches and gullies in Trench 23. Area 4 contained the most concentrated zone of archaeological remains, all confirming geophysical anomalies. The evidence consisted of an Iron Age sub-rectangular enclosure along with field boundaries dated to the Roman period. Area 5 contained agricultural traces of no archaeological significance, confirming the geophysical anomalies. The site archive will be held by Leicestershire Museums Service, under accession no. XA.30.2014.
