Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	An archaeological Strip, Map and Sample investigation was undertaken in July 2018 by University of Leicester Archaeological Services on behalf of Mr and Mrs J Marriott on land at 3-9 Borough Street, Kegworth, Leicestershire, in advance of proposed residential development. The investigation represented a follow up to a preliminary archaeological evaluation which produced evidence for archaeological activity in the form of a series of post holes, gullies and ditches of medieval provenance. The strip, map and sample investigation uncovered further evidence for medieval occupation as well as producing earlier Saxon pottery from 9th to 10th centuries. A variety of features were found in Area 1 and are suggestive of multiple-use domestic occupation. Area 2 contained two post holes of late Saxon date as well as a substantial east-west orientated ditch likely to mark the boundary of a medieval burgage plot to the south of the site. The archaeological evidence found during this investigation has therefore confirmed an Anglo Saxon presence in Kegworth, potentially as early as the 9th century. The site's connection with the Anglo Saxon 'burgh' and the medieval historic core has contributed to the understanding of the town's early occupation.
