Abstract:		 Archaeological watching brief of a parcel of land measuring approximately 0.1 ha located on land off Enderby Road (B582), to the north-east of Narborough, Leicestershire LE19 2BH. The archaeological watching brief monitored groundworks related to the construction of a storage pond as part of the River Soar Natural Flood Management Scheme. A 60 x 20 m area was stripped of topsoil. A 40 x 2.5 m trench was then excavated in the middle of the stripped area. The trench base lay approximately 1.5 m below the existing ground surface. The edges of the trench were then battered back within the footprint of the topsoiled area to create the extension to the pond. The area was waterlogged due to the high water levels of the river nearby, and the trench filled up with water rapidly. Four deposits were encountered during the watching brief: topsoil, subsoil and two alluvial deposits: a pale orangey brown silty clay overlying a mid-brownish orange silty clay, which was seen at the base of the trench. No archaeological remains were encountered.
