Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	In December 2017 MOLA was commissioned by CgMs Consulting to carry out an archaeological trial trench evaluation on land off Butt Lane, Blackfordby, Leicestershire in advance of residential development. Twenty-eight trenches were excavated, twelve of which contained archaeological features. These features were mainly post-medieval boundary ditches identified by a geophysical survey. A fragment of late medieval pottery, probably residual, was recovered from one ditch. Other ditches contained late post-medieval to early modern pottery, glass and CBM. Also a few fragments of probable kiln furniture were identified in two post-medieval contexts indicating possible post-medieval pottery production in the vicinity. The evaluation also identified a series of post-medieval to early modern extraction pits (bell pits) and other features related to an extensive mining activity within the area. These interventions were noted during the previous geophysical survey.
