Abstract:		 This document is a fieldwork report for an archaeological trial trench evaluation, carried out by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) of land at Freemens Common, Leicester (SK 59041 02579) in advance of the construction of student accommodation, academic buildings and multi storey car park by the University of Leicester The proposed development site covers an area of 3.10ha comprising of land at Welford Road, Freemens Common, Putney Road, and Nixon Court currently in use by the University of Leicester for car parking, student accommodation and offices. The old 'Dry Dock' public house also sits within the development area. A desk based assessment undertaken in 2017 identified the potential for archaeological remains on site. A total of 16 trenches were proposed across the development area, but after the excavation of 3 trenches, it became apparent that due to considerable modern disturbance from buildings yet to be demolished, previous landscaping of the development area and site constraints that the survival of archaeological remains was highly unlikely. Therefore the City Archaeologist agreed to waive the need to excavate the remaining 13 trenches. Modern demolition material and root disturbance was observed in the excavated trenches along with the presence of modern services. No archaeological deposits were observed. The archive for the site will be deposited with Leicester City Museum Service with accession number Y.A2.2019.
