Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	An archaeological investigation (test pitting) was carried out at St Nicholas Church, Frolesworth, Leicestershire (SP 503 906) by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) on 8 May, 2014. Work was undertaken for Frolesworth PCC in order to provide indications of the character of deposits beneath the floor of the church in order to assist in determining the cause of localised subsidence. One c.0.8m x 0.8m test pit was hand-excavated in the church floor at the point where the north and south aisles crossed the nave. Beneath the floor tiles and concrete screed was a thick deposit of compacted hardcore, most likely laid down during the restoration of the church in the late 19th century. This covered a concreted ceramic pipe running into a brick heating duct to the north of the test pit. No evidence of subsidence in the substrata was found and the floor tiles appeared to be lifting up off the screed rather than settling down. No evidence of earlier church floors was found either although 19th century hardcore contained building rubble, possibly discarded church fabric. The archive will be held by Leicestershire Museum Service under the accession number X.A68.2014.
