Abstract:		 A trial trench evaluation was carried out on land east of Lutterworth Road, Burbage, Leicestershire (NGR: SP 447 920) in advance of the proposed development of the site for new housing. Iron Age and Roman field systems lie around 400m to the west of the site and there are known Bronze Age barrows and prehistoric findspots in the vicinity of Burbage. The proposed development area consisted of a number of pasture fields, some with extant ridge and furrow earthworks. A geophysical survey was carried out prior to the trial trenching and was largely negative but for a few anomalies, including a possible ring ditch, which were targeted by trenches, along with further trenches to provide coverage of the area. Nine 30m x 1.6m trenches were excavated over three of the fields within the proposed development area. Most of the trenches were negative containing silty clay upper soils over a poorly drained gravelly clay sub-stratum, with some trenches containing field drains. Features were revealed in three trenches. Trench 01 contained a modern feature, whereas Trenches 02 and 04 contained a possible linear running between the two trenches on a north-west to south-east alignment, as did the furrows. The feature might be an undated linear feature, but given its alignment it may equally be a large furrow deepened by the presence of a field drain. No other features were revealed during the evaluation. The trench over the possible ring ditch revealed no archaeological features. Further work is expected and may clarify the findings of this evaluation. The archive for this work will be deposited with Leicestershire Museums Service with accession number X.A73.2019.
