Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by CgMs Consulting to undertake a detailed gradiometer survey of land adjacent to Junction 24 of the M1, Kegworth, over the area of a proposed development (centred on NGR 447850 327350). The aim of the work was to establish the presence, or otherwise, and nature of detectable archaeological features on the site as part of a programme of archaeological works, ahead of a proposed housing development. The survey was undertaken between the 4th and 7 th February 2014 and the site is located approximately 10km northwest of Loughborough and 15km southeast of the centre of Derby; on the northwest edge of Kegworth. The site comprises an area of arable agricultural land located directly to the east of the M1. Detailed gradiometer survey was undertaken over all accessible parts of the site, a total of 21.3ha, and has demonstrated the presence of anomalies of likely, probable and possible archaeological interest in addition to two modern services. The archaeology detected includes isolated ditch sections and several pit-like anomalies but nothing that suggests concentrated settlement activity. The majority of the features detected relates to agricultural activity. No archaeology detected in the neighbouring East Midlands Gateway project (Wessex Archaeology 2014b) area appears to extend into this area.
