Abstract: |
The site was located in an area of high archaeological potential. It lay to the south of the Roman and medieval defences of Leicester, within the area of the Roman extramural cemetery. Evidence of Roman pre-cemetery and Saxon activity was also found in recent excavations nearby and various find spots indicated further Roman activity in this area. The site lay within the post-medieval Horsefair, an area at least partly within the Civil War defences. The garage area did not seem to have suffered any great degree of truncation, from cellaring, and thus was likely to have good preservation of any archaeological deposits present. [Au(abr)] |
