Abstract:
As part of the new Highcross Leicester retail development for Shires GP Ltd. it was proposed to construct a new multi-storey car park on land surrounding Vine Street, extending from Vaughan Way in the south to Long Lane in the north and from Burgess Street in the east to the boundary of All Saint’s Church in the west. This would include residential units along its western side overlooking All Saint’s Church and retail units at ground floor level along its southern side. The entire development would be connected with the proposed John Lewis store and new retail quarter on the south side of Vaughan Way via a pedestrian bridge. This site was located within the centre of the City of Leicester, at SK 583 049, and covered approximately 6300 square metres.As it lay within the north-east quarter of the historic core of Roman and medieval Leicester, an area of significant archaeological potential (Meek, 2000 and 2003), this led to an extended period of archaeological investigation carried out by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) under the direction of Tim Higgins between 2004 and 2006. Tim Higgins also directed the post-excavation assessment and analysis with the assistance of Mathew Morris, Martin Shore and Dan Stone. The overall project was managed by Richard Buckley and Nick Cooper managed the post-excavation programme. The fieldwork and post-excavation analysis was funded by Hammerson UK properties Plc. This report presents the detailed results of the fieldwork and all archive records and material is held by Leicester City Council Museum Services under the accession codes A22.2003 and A24.2003.This volume contains the specialist reports. The stratigraphic report can be found in ULAS Report No. 2009-134 (Vol. 1); the skeletal report can be found in ULAS Report No. 2009-048 (Vol. 3 of this report).
