Abstract:		 Oxford Archaeology South (OAS), was commissioned by CgMs Consulting Ltd, on behalf of Miller Homes (East Midlands) Ltd, to undertake an evaluation of land at Hugglescote, Leicestershire, NGR SK 4190 1330. The work was carried out in advance of a planning application for residential development. The work was undertaken between 24th - 26th September 2014. Eleven trenches were excavated. Ditches which are the surviving remains of earlier field boundaries were recorded and probably date to the post-medieval period. These may have been part of the agricultural systems associated with the villages of Hugglescote and Snibston and the manor at Donington le Heath and may have been part of the 19th century Tithe and Enclosure landscapes. No remains pre-dating the post-medieval period were encountered. Oxford Archaeology excavated four burnt mounds beside a minor tributary stream of the River Sence at Hugglescote, Coalville. Radiocarbon dating indicated that the earliest mound was probably in use during the late Neolithic/early Bronze Age (and possibly earlier in the late Neolithic/early Bronze Age) while the other mounds were considerably later, dating from the middle Bronze Age. Troughs of various forms in varying numbers were found below the mounds. The mounds and troughs were associated with few finds. Micromorphological analysis of the soils preserved below the mounds suggest that little change in the soils had occurred between the late Neolithic/early Bronze Age and the middle Bronze Age.
