Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken on behalf of Sheiling Homes Limited, on land to the west of Lutterworth Road, just to the south of Gilmorton. Seventeen trial trenches were opened over two fields. These were arranged in both gridded and non-gridded array in order to interrogate and characterise geophysical anomalies and to test the quality of capture from the survey in blank areas. Archaeological remains of varying significance were identified across a wide area. Where geophysical anomalies had been highlighted there was a good correlation with features. However, a number of trenches also demonstrated an archaeological component to the site well beyond that shown on the geophysical survey, particularly in the southern of the two fields. There were at least three phases of activity identified; prehistoric, Roman and post-medieval artefacts were recovered. This could be characterised as small-scale prehistoric land use, a localised focus of Roman activity in close proximity to a rural settlement in the northern third of the site, and the remains of a medieval and post-medieval agricultural landscape. Other features included a number of small gullies and ditches that were widespread, but remain undated and poorly understood both in relation to one another and the sequence of activity on the site.
