Abstract:		 Archaeological excavations were carried out by ULAS on land at Waterfield Place, Market Harborough between July and October 2014, in advance of the construction of new housing by Persimmon Homes Ltd. The work followed geophysical survey and trial trenching in 2011. Excavation revealed several enclosure complexes, representing activity dating from the early-mid Iron Age and ceasing by the end of the 1st century AD. The earliest phase began with several unenclosed circular dwellings, progressing to roundhouses within small enclosures. Towards the end of the Iron Age, the creation of new enclosures, mostly quite small, may reflect the increasing importance of pastoral farming. A diverse range of enclosure types were observed on the site; including concentric ditches, sub-square, sub-circular and oval enclosures. Structures were predominantly circular however a post-built rectangular structure was also identified within an enclosure. Only part of the settlement was exposed, with the remainder lying beneath an earlier housing development to the south.
