Abstract:		 Between November 2018 and March 2019 Trent and Peak Archaeology (TPA) were commissioned by Hazelton Group Ltd to conduct an archaeological watching brief during planned residential development to the rear of 39 to 41 Friar Lane, Leicester (centred on SK 58495 04297). The site is located within the Scheduled Monument of Greyfriars which formed part of the former Franciscan Friary and the burial place of Richard III after the Battle of Bosworth c 200m to the east of the site. The site was stripped to between 1-2m below ground level, which revealed a considerable depth of made ground which was probably laid down during the late 19th and early 20th century as a result of the construction of deep-cellared buildings immediately to the east of the site. A number of brick structures observed during the excavations may be related to outbuildings and garden walls of 39-41 Friar Lane, datable to the late 18th - early 19th century. A subsequent phase of groundworks included the monitored excavation of two additional trenches within the eastern portion of the site (FRI3). These were excavated on 29th October 2019, which revealed a similar level of post-medieval and modern development related truncation and levelling material c 1m in thickness. No significant archaeological features or deposits were identified.
