Abstract:		 Excavation was carried out 2015/16. The first activity saw a ring ditch and mound constructed on the slope of high ground overlooking the confluence of the Rivers Soar, Wreake, and Rothley Brook in the Middle Neolithic. The Neolithic round mound was remodelled in the Bronze Age. In the late Iron Age three clear phases of activity can be discerned, including field enclosures and human burials, with the latest Iron Age phase dating to the 'Belgic' period. In the early Anglo-Saxon period, the area had become the focus for a small inhumation cemetery. At least 13 inhumations were discovered, including evidence for a 'warrior' burial.
