Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation in the form of trial trenching was undertaken as part of a staged programme of archaeological investigation prior to the site's proposed redevelopment for student accommodation. A desk-based assessment had highlighted the potential of the area for buried archaeological remains, showed that it lay within the Roman and medieval walled area of Leicester and that it also contained a portion of the medieval castle bailey ditch circuit. An associated cellar survey revealed that much of the development area had been subject to deep cellaring during former usage, particularly from an Everards Brewery bottling plant. Trenches in areas away from the main cellared parts of the site revealed Roman and medieval archaeological remains. [Au(abr)] |
