Abstract: |
Between July and December 2014, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an intermittent archaeological watching brief at Belgrave Road, Leicester. The watching brief was maintained during groundworks associated with alterations to Belgrave Road. Although the watching brief site lay outside of Roman and medieval Leicester, Belgrave Road preserves the line of the Fosse Way, which was a major Roman thoroughfare. The watching brief recorded no significant archaeological features or deposits. The observed groundworks did not generally penetrate lower than 19th/20th-century ground disturbance/made ground layers associated with the construction of Belgrave Road and the Belgrave Flyover. There was evidence for extensive ground disturbance associated with the modern road. The remains of a late 19th/earlier 20th-century tramway were recorded |
