Abstract:		 An archaeological field evaluation by trial trenching was carried out by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) on land at the former Hemington Pit Compound, Tamworth Road, Lockington-Hemington Leicestershire (SK 45765 30160). Previous archaeological work undertaken during the former quarries gravel extraction operations revealed a Bronze Age fishweir /revetment which lay within the site perimeter and other prehistoric and medieval structures along with palaeoenvironmental deposits were located adjacent to the present site. The work was in advance of excavation of a c.135 metre long by 5 metre wide drainage ditch aligned north-west to south-east with associated c. 18m metre by 10 metre attenuation tank. The proposed ditch will be associated with the construction of a large compound on the former quarry gravel processing works. The compound is related to improvements to the M1 motorway (smart motorways) and is in the form of a large complex of modular buildings on existing hard standing ground, therefore no other ground-works threaten potential archaeological remains. Six trenches were proposed; five orientated north-west to south-east along the length of the drainage ditch with the sixth trench oriented north-east to south-west across the attenuation tank. Two further trenches were added due to on-site constraints. No archaeological remains were located. Modern intrusions and disturbed sand and gravel above o alluvium deposits of modern date were located. The archive for this work will be deposited with Leicestershire Museums with accession number X.A.49.2016.
