Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology carried out a programme of evaluation trenching on land near Hemington in Leicestershire. The work was undertaken as part of works relating to the development of the East Midlands Gateway strategic rail freight interchange. An initial phase of evaluation trenching occurred in 2014-16. This Addendum provides the results for Field 43, where work occurred after the main report for the 2016 evaluation had been issued, and also for supplementary trenching in Field 35, which was first investigated in 2016. Within Field 35, detail has been added to the understanding of the profile and lifespan of the Iron Age boundary ditch previously investigated there. Some evidence for domestic activity was recorded within the area enclosed by the ditch, but there is no indication of a great concentration of remains hereabouts. The results are more equivocal within Field 43, where an absence of dating evidence and the depth of overburden sealing the archaeological horizon hampered the evaluation. A number of linear ditches were recorded, and it is thought most likely that they defined plots of land associated with the Romano-British site already excavated within the field immediately to the east. No obvious indication of settlement or other similarly intense landuse was recorded within Field 43. A small quantity of finds (animal bone, pottery, worked flint) was recovered, with the great majority of trenches proving to be artefactually sterile. Datable material is all of prehistoric date.
