Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by University of Leicester Archaeological Services on land at 52, Grange Lane, Castle Ward, Leicester (NGR 586 038). The work was carried out in response to development proposals for residential dwellings in April 2005 and consisted of two trial trenches. Archaeological features relating to Roman, medieval and post-medieval occupation on the site were revealed in the two trenches. The densest activity was recorded in Trench 1, adjacent to the Grange Lane frontage where stratified evidence of Roman structural and boundary activity was revealed beneath medieval pitting. Disarticulated human bone was recovered from a Roman pit and evidence for medieval ironworking and hornworking was recovered from a 12th/13th century feature. A single sherd of early Anglo-Saxon pottery suggested nearby activities from this period. In Trench 2, on the eastern side of the site, shallow surviving Roman features included a possible ditch which had disturbed an early cremation burial, both of which were dated to the 1st or 2nd century AD. Overlying the Roman features was a patchy layer of cobbling dated to the late 18th century which may have related to backyard surfaces of buildings fronting onto Grange Lane or Oxford Street. The finds and records from the site will be deposited with Leicester City Museums under the Accession Number A3.2005.
