Abstract:		 An archaeological field evaluation was carried out by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) on land at the Kegworth Community Centre, Dragwell, Kegworth, Leicestershire (SK 4873 2687). The evaluation was in advance of the proposed re-development of the site. The site currently consists of the closed community centre, formerly the Co-Op building, with a car park, temporary buildings and a grassed area to the rear. The site lies within the core of the medieval village and within an apparent circular enclosure formed by an earthwork to the east and the line of a local road to the west. This may be evidence of an Anglo-Saxon 'burh' or fortified stronghold, or possibly an earlier prehistoric enclosure. The line of a Roman road also lies nearby. Two 20m trenches were excavated within the site; one on the grassed area and one in the car park. The first was very deep and consisted of a large amount of overburden underlying deep topsoil and the second largely consisted of hardcore over buried soils. The second trench contained two features, which after examination were found to be modern in date. The larger feature may have been the remains of a soakaway or a cess pit.
