Abstract:		 An archaeological trial trench evaluation, carried out by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) on behalf of Aldi Stores Ltd, at Rugby Road, Lutterworth, Leicestershire (NGR: SP 545 839) in advance of the construction of a new factory and residential development. The development site consisted of pasture field located on the southern edge of Lutterworth A426 Rugby Road with its eastern boundary and the A4303 Lutterworth Road along its southern boundary. Immediately to north and west of the site is the River Swift. The development lies to the west an important area of medieval activity that comprised St John's hospital and cemetery which was located within the site of the former Mill Farm. Geophysical survey carried out in 2019 as part of the evaluation recorded no magnetic responses that could be interpreted as being of significant archaeological interest. Therefore, a total of eight trenches were placed across the field. The archaeological evaluation revealed no evidence for archaeological features or finds within the any of the trenches, apart from medieval ridge and furrow and east-west post-medieval boundary ditch. The majority of the trenches contained deep post-glacial colluvial deposits that measured between 0.40m and 0.60m deep. The River Swift located towards the northern end of the site appears to have eroded these deposits and created what are thought to be natural platforms or terraces.
