Abstract:		 University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) carried out an Archaeological Evaluation by test-pitting within the north-east corner of the former precinct of Leicester Abbey, Scheduled Monument No. 1012149, now Abbey Park, Leicester (NGR: SK 58509 05984), prior to proposed tree planting. The archaeological fieldwork was intended to provide preliminary indications of the character and extent of any archaeological features, structures, deposits, artefacts or ecofacts within a specified area. Seven 2m x 2m test-pits were excavated within the proposed area. These test-pits produced a varying amount of re-deposited material, associated with the demolition of the Abbey buildings in the sixteenth century and with archaeological fieldwork which took place in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Six of the test-pits contained no in situ archaeological deposits but one contained an undisturbed human burial. All test-pits were photographed, measured and then backfilled. The archive of the archaeological evaluation will be deposited with Leicester Museums under the accession number Y.A2.2018
