Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was carried out by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) on land adjacent to Meadowside, Rugby Road, Swinford, Leicestershire (SP56738 79249) in advance of a residential development of 21 dwellings and associated works by Mr and Mrs Michael Mourant and HB Architects (19/01596/FUL). The proposed development area is currently pasture land, of c. 1.23ha, on the western edge of Swinford. It is bounded to the north by Rugby Road and to the east by residential housing and hedges. A desk-based assessment undertaken in 2005 for land east of the site had highlighted the potential for prehistoric, Roman and Anglo Saxon remains to be present in the vicinity of the site, whilst excavations at Starmore Farm to the east in 2018 produced evidence for medieval and post medieval activity. A total of eight evaluation trenches (30m x 1.9m) were excavated within the footprints of the proposed buildings. No archaeological deposits were identified, with the exception of medieval plough furrows identified in several trenches. Standing ridge and furrow earthworks were present and a representative profile was recorded across one of the better-preserved sections of these remains. The archive for the site will be deposited with Leicestershire County Museums with accession number X.A22.2020.
