Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Reports on excavations undertaken by Wardell Armstrong in advance of development at 'Blackfriars' in Leicester, located close to the east bank of the river Soar. The site lay inside the area of the Roman town and also in the former area of Ratae, an important settlement centre of the Corieltavi, a tribal federation. The excavations revealed an Iron Age enclosure that appeared to be sited within Ratae, and mould fragments associated with coin manufacture. Added to evidence from excavations nearby in 2007, this may suggest that some of the thousands of coins found on a hilltop at Hallaton, twelve miles east of Leicester, could have been made here. Later finds at Blackfriars included stone pillar bases for a major Roman building described as basilica-like. LD | ||||||||||
