Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation by trial trenching was carried out by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) for Evans Heritage Developments on land at 72, Oxford Street, Leicester, in advance of the building of two blocks of residential apartments with associated car parking. Until recently the site contained the Nags Head and Star public house and it lies to the south of the Roman and medieval walled towns of Leicester, in an area adjacent to a number of sites with known archaeological remains. The evaluation revealed a number of features, including potential boundary ditches and pits containing pottery from Roman and medieval periods. The site archive will be deposited with Leicester City Museums with accession number A2.2004. |
