Abstract:		 Between September and October 2016, Cotswold Archaeology (CA) carried out a programme of fieldwalking followed by a sixty-three trench evaluation of land west of Heather, Leicestershire. The fieldwork was undertaken to inform a planning application for the residential development of the site. A previous geophysical survey identified a number of anomalies, considered likely to be agricultural in origin. Archaeological material recovered during the fieldwalking was predominantly of post-medieval date. The material was fairly well distributed across the site and no particular concentrations were revealed, accordingly little meaningful interpretation can be made. The evaluation identified a number of predominantly undated, but probable post-medieval/modern ditches. These broadly correspond within the general alignment of the surrounding field systems as depicted on historic and current Ordnance Survey mapping. The ditches are likely to represent boundary and/or drainage features. The evaluation recorded a number of furrows indicative of medieval/post-medieval agricultural activity. However, none of the furrows produced any dating evidence and no other evidence for medieval activity was recorded. There was no further evidence for any pre post-medieval activity recorded during the evaluation.
