Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	The proposed redevelopment of Wilkinson’s store (Charles Street) led to a series of archaeological investigations commissioned by Wells Associates on behalf of Fara Estates as part of a planning condition required by the Archaeology Section, Leicester Museums Service (LCMS). These investigations comprised a desk-based assessment (Prosser 2000) and an evaluation (Doel 2000), which confirmed the presence of Roman features, including inhumation burials. Subsequently, the LCMS Archaeology Section issued a brief for excavation which was followed by a specification prepared by Hertfordshire Archaeological Trust (HAT, now Archaeological Solutions Ltd.). The excavation was undertaken in May and June 2001. It revealed two principal phases of Roman activity, the second comprising 58 graves containing 62 skeletons (Crank 2001). The remains of several inhumations extended beyond the limits of the excavation and could not be recovered given the requirements of health and safety. As a result LCMS requested that, in accordance with the initial brief, all significant remains be recorded. A second phase of excavation was undertaken in October 2001 (O’Brien & Crank 2001) and revealed 33 further graves.
