An archaeological evaluation was carried out by University of Leicester Archaeological Services in January 2021 on land south of London Road, Markfield, Leicestershire (NGR: SK 48918 09389), prior to groundworks associated with proposed housing development. Following geophysical survey in February 2020, fifty-three evaluation trenches were excavated across the site. Two of the fifty-three trenches contained archaeological features. Trench 7 contained an undated quarry pit, likely to be post-medieval and Trench 52 contained a circular pit which contained Roman pottery. The archive for the work will be deposited with Leicestershire Museum Service under accession number X.A3.2021.
