Abstract:		 An archaeological observation was undertaken by Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd (PCA) on land Ash House, Main Street, Leire, Leicestershire during the groundworks for the footings of a new house. The observation was commissioned by Cheriton Homes Ltd. During the observation only a single archaeological feature was encountered in the development area. This consisted of a linear ditch containing animal bone but holding no identifiable datable or palaeoenvironmental material. A subsoil layer containing late 19th century occupational material produced a deposit of shell that was analysed. The results concluded it was a discarded nest complete with well-developed eggs containing chicks. Additionally, a layer of late post-medieval/modern material was noted to the west of the site.
