Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	A metal detector survey was carried out from the 5th to 6th May 2018 by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) for Horiba-MIRA Ltd. on land at MIRA Business Park, Nuneaton CV10 0TT. One arable located in the northwest of the park was surveyed in advance of proposed development of the site. The metal detecting was undertaken by members of the Ambion Historical and Archaeological Research Group who have metal detected extensive areas locally and whose work within a project commissioned by Leicestershire County Council and lead by Dr Glenn Foard, resulted in the registration of redefined battlefield area in 2013. Eleven pieces were recorded during the survey. Of these one musket ball may possibly be derived from the 1485 battle but equally may derive from other activity included the Civil War skirmish known to have occurred over the same fields in 1644. Two flint thumbnail scrapers of probably Early Bronze Age date were recovered in close proximity to one another on the west side of the field. Eleven pieces were recorded during the survey.
