Abstract:		 An archaeological field evaluation was undertaken on land off Grantham Road, Bottesford, Leicestershire between the 6th and the 13th of August 2018 by the University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS). The work took place in advance of a proposed residential development. There are a number of known archaeological sites within the vicinity of the development site and a geophysical survey produced strong results which may relate to palaeochannels and waterlogged palaeoenvironmental deposits. Therefore the Leicestershire County Council Senior Planning Archaeologist, as advisor to the local planning authority, requested that a staged programme of archaeological investigation take place to identify, locate and record any archaeological remains that may be affected by the development. Eight 50m long trenches were excavated across the site. The geophysical anomalies were identified as being geological rather than archaeological in origin. No archaeological features or deposits were found although a small amount of Roman and medieval pottery was recovered from the topsoil. This is probably related to manuring activity originating from nearby farmsteads.
