Abstract:		 Davidsons Development Ltd and Scraptoft Hall Ltd have received planning permission for the erection of 42 dwellings, creation of access and public open space, with associated hardstanding, landscaping and drainage at Scraptoft Hall, Church Hill, Scraptoft, Leicestershire A written scheme of investigation to address conditions 12 and 13 attached to the planning permission was prepared by CgMs Consulting Ltd. Nine trial trenches were excavated in October 2013 by Northamptonshire Archaeology. There was evidence for significant landscaping associated with the construction of and alterations to the hall and gardens from the 18th century. However, Trenches 2 and 3 contained ditches, two of which produced single sherds of medieval pottery. The features were considered to be associated with the medieval village of Scraptoft. Accordingly, archaeological mitigation investigation and the opening of a trial trench in a previously inaccessible were required by the Leicestershire County Council Planning Archaeologists. The investigations have confirmed that the ditches identified in Trenches 2 and 3 are of medieval date, probably dug in the 12th-13th century as land/property boundaries. The absence of associated discrete features such as pits and postholes, along with the limited quantity of domestic debris in the ditches within the mitigation area and the evaluation trenches, demonstrates that the core of the medieval settlement lies beyond the limits of the development area. It is likely to have been located to the west of the church where extant earthwork house platforms and a hollow-way are visible (MNN2286). Details of this project will be disseminated via OASIS and this report will be uploaded onto the ADS, so that it is available to a wide audience. A brief summary will be submitted to the county archaeological journal. The integrated project archive will be deposited with Leicestershire Museums under accession number X. A174.2013.
