Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Between 27 June and 16 July 2004 and 20th June-16th July 2005, University of Leicester Archaeological Services undertook fifth and sixth seasons of training excavation at the site of Leicester Abbey for first and second-year students of the School of Archaeology and Ancient History, University of Leicester. The work concentrated on the site of the abbey kitchen, a large, square, detached building lying immediately to the south of the refectory. Based on the results of the 1930s excavations and trial trenches of 2002 and 2003, the kitchen would appear to have been a substantial building measuring approximately 39 feet (11.88m) square internally with walls 4ft 4in (1.32m) thick, except for the west wall which had been refaced, increasing the thickness to about 5.7 feet (1.74m). The external corners appear to have been buttressed, whilst evidence for an oven was revealed in the south-west internal angle in 2003, together with a stone-capped drain. Also in 2003, a wall was encountered running at right angles to the west wall of the kitchen, and clearly post-dating it, pointing to the presence of later medieval or post-medieval phases of activity. The aim of the 2004-5 seasons was to confirm the dimensions of the building, to establish whether there were further fireplaces at the north-western and north-eastern corners, to assess the quality of archaeological survival and to investigate more fully evidence for later phases of the building. The finds and archive will be lodged with Leicester City Museum Service under accession number A8.2000.
