The work was carried out on behalf of Jelson Ltd, in advance of and during residential development of the site. This report highlights evidence of Late Neolithic Early Bronze Age occupation which yielded a significant assemblage of worked flint, and the largest assemblage of BEAKER pottery found so far in Leicestershire, and of earlier occupation in the form of a Late MESOLITHIC lithic assemblage preserved in a tree throw hole.
