I would guess at a stone trapped between the disc and back coverplate. Remove the roadwheel and give the drive flange a spin to see if you can see where the squeak is coming from. If it is a stone, flick it out with a screwdriver etc.

~ I have heard of people reversing a few yards to release a stone...
