Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	This document is a fieldwork report for an archaeological trial trench evaluation, carried out by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) at land adjacent to 41A Main Street, Medbourne, Leicestershire in advance of a residential development comprising five dwellings and associated infrastructure. The development site comprised a triangular parcel of land under pasture bordered by Main Street to the west, trees to the east and a residential property to the south. A total of 4 trenches were excavated across the development site, targeting areas that will be affected by the proposed development. No archaeological activity was identified in any of the four trenches, and no residual pottery was recovered from the topsoil. Trenches 1 and 2 both revealed the corresponding furrows to ridges visible at ground level. Trench 2 partially overlay a slope forming the eastern boundary of the site, which was identified as comprising a subsoil deposit likely the result of upcast from the adjacent railway line located beyond the site boundary to the east. Trenches 3 and 4 both contained deep colluvial/redeposited soils. They were both located across a raised area visible at ground level probably the remains of a headland or field boundary associated with the ridge and furrow present in the northern corner of the development site.
