Abstract:
Archaeological observation of trenching in the courtyard around Leicester's Gatehouse revealed a number of archaeological features dating from the medieval and early post-medieval periods. The original line of the medieval curtain wall was exposed on the west side of the gatehouse along with the remains of at leat two stone structures, one apparently part of a drain, the other the foundations of a building that predated the gatehouse. Both were most likely medieval in date. To the south of the gatehouse a further wall foundation, again probably medieval was exposed along with an area of gravel surface that may have been part of the roadway south from the gate. To the north of the gatehouse the west face of the 16th century bridge leading into the gatehouse, together with demolition material associated with slighting of the castle was exposed. A layer containing some 17th century finds, including a pistol ball, may date to the Civil War garrisoning of the castle. [Au(abr)]
