Abstract:		 Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd undertook a geophysical (magnetometer) survey, covering a 190 hectare site at Hinckley, Leicestershire, where a new strategic rail freight interchange (SRFI) is proposed. Evaluation of the proposed development area has been notably affected by the extensive application of green waste as soil conditioner over 75% of the site. This has resulted in a widespread elevated magnetic background against which any low magnitude anomalies of archaeological potential, if present, may be masked. For this reason, the archaeological potential over the affected fields remains uncertain although it is thought that any extensive areas of enclosed settlement, if present, would have been detected, at least in part, over the majority of the geophysical survey area. A single localised ring-ditch has been identified at Hobbs Hayes Farm in an area unaffected by green waste. This anomaly is ascribed high archaeological potential and probably locates a round barrow. No further anomalies of archaeological potential have been identified over the 25% of fields where green waste has not been applied and, in these fields, the archaeological potential is assessed as low.
