Abstract:		 A geophysical survey, comprising detailed magnetometry, was carried out along a 4500m section of a proposed water pipeline to the east of Leicester. An additional 900m length was also surveyed adjacent to the north and south edges of the Grand Union Canal. The survey was carried out using a hand-pushed, 5 channel, cart-based system. Five areas contain anomalies with archaeological potential, including positive linear anomalies indicating ditch-like features within Area 6 to the north of Newton Harcourt and Area 10 to the west. Also to the west of Newton Harcourt are a number of rectilinear enclosures, linear ditches and pits that indicate a Romano-British settlement. The proposed route of the scheme was adjusted to avoid this archaeology. To the south of the Grand Union Canal are at least three highly magnetic responses to industrial features. These appear to indicate brick kilns used during construction or maintenance of the canal.
