Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) carried out an Archaeological Excavation on Land at Old Warren Farm (New Lubbesthorpe, Area 4), Lubbesthorpe, Leicestershire, prior to construction work as part of the New Lubbesthorpe scheme. The development area is located on arable land to the west of Old Warren Farm (SK 52883 02064).Initial trial-trenching work identified two cremations in urns, both very plough truncated. The subsequent mitigation strategy saw part of the development area (measuring approximately 55m by 30m) stripped under archaeological control. Although no further cremations were identified, two further features were recorded close to the original cremations. Both features were very shallow and did not contain in situ urns or primary cremation material, with only charcoal and flecks of possible human burnt bone present. The strip also identified the full extent of a pit feature to the north of the urns, previously only partly exposed in the evaluation trial trenching. This substantial pit held a series of fills, some containing oak charcoal - possibly pyre rakings, and also produced small unburnt bone fragments that may not have been human bone. There was no evidence for a pyre on site, apart from these possible rakings.Thirty metres to the north-east of the main group of features, two further insubstantial features were identified. One was a very truncated scoop-like feature that produced some charcoal, but no dating evidence. Close by, a small possible stake-hole was excavated which also produced a little charcoal. No further features were exposed, and no unstratified material was recovered during the stripping of the area.
