Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	During the autumn of 2013 ULAS carried out an excavation at Leaders Farm, on the south-western edge of Lutterworth prior to construction of a new residential development. The excavation has produced good evidence for two distinct and separate landscapes. The main focus of activity was Middle to Later Iron Age. Evidence suggests that activity started as unenclosed settlement focused around a pair of circular buildings, with a series of large polygonal enclosures appearing later in the site's development. Activity within the enclosures was sparse with occupation remaining extra-enclosural. A third roundhouse, partially uncovered on the edge of the excavation, appears to be enclosed within its own timber stockade - identified by a line of closely-spaced stake-holes found along the base of the narrow trench defining the enclosure edge. Overall, finds from the excavation were light, but pottery from Roundhouse 1, Roundhouse 2 and some of the enclosure ditches belonged to the East Midlands scored ware tradition current from the 4th or mid-3rd century BC to the earlier 1st century BC and in view of the high proportion of scoring recorded, a date in the Late Iron Age, 1st century BC or early 1st century AD is indicated. The rest of the site was crossed by systems of rectilinear ditches, suggesting much of the site was covered with small enclosures and fields. These dated to the Roman period with pottery predominately of late 2nd or 3rd century date. Post-Roman activity on the site was restricted to medieval and/or post-medieval ridge and furrow.
