Abstract:		 University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) carried out an Archaeological Excavation on an area of land off Acresford Road, Donisthorpe, Leicestershire (NGR: SK 31133 13620) prior to construction of a residential development. The archaeological fieldwork was intended to mitigate against any damage to potential archaeological remains. A geophysical survey (Cranford Forensic Institute for Pre Construct Archaeology 2014) and trial trenching (Pre Construct Archaeology 2014) had indicated the possibility of archaeological deposits and the Senior Planning Archaeologist required an open area excavation of the proposed site. The excavation revealed the remains of two phases of Romano-British enclosures. The earliest phase, 1st/2nd century, comprised a network of gullies and the later phase, 3rd/4th century, comprised of a series of enclosures and a metalled trackway. An assemblage of stratified pottery plus a single fragment from a Roman rotary quern were recovered and environmental samples were taken. A record of the archaeological excavation will be held by Leicestershire Museums Services under the Accession Number X.A125.2017.
