Abstract:		 An archaeological investigation was carried out on land at the former St. Peter’s Lane Car Park, Abbey Ward, Leicester (SK 458500 304746 centre) on the 27th February - 4th August 2006 and 19th December 2006 – 4th January 2007. This work was carried out on behalf of Hammerson UK Properties plc. by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS). The results revealed surviving Roman deposits in the east of the site, including insulae layout ditches, a Roman street and drainage ditches, early yard surfaces and gulleys, a stone-lined well, later metalled surfaces, post-pads hinting at a structure outside of the site to the east, masonry building remains in the north and pits. Medieval agricultural activity had heavily truncated the Roman deposits in the west of the site in the form of garden soils and remnant furrows. Some ephemeral structural activity was evidenced in the form of postholes, clay floors and stone foundations for possible timber structures as well as pits from all medieval periods. The Ebenezer Chapel and Bond Street Congregational Chapel burial grounds were located and exhumed. The former Vauxhall Street was also located from remnant granite setts. The site archive is held by Leicester City Museum under the accession number A5.2006.
