Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	An outline application has been sought for the construction of a performing arts centre (2002/0514) at Rutland Street/Halford Street/Vestry Street, Leicester. The site lies to the east of the Roman and medieval towns of Leicester, in an area with known archaeological remains to have survived in the vicinity. University of Leicester Archaeological Services were commissioned by Focus Consultants (UK) Ltd. to undertake an archaeological evaluation of the proposed development area. All of the trenches revealed large amounts of modern truncation that may have removed any archaeological deposits that previously existed on the site. Natural ground was revealed within trenches 1, 2, 3 and 5, although depths of natural varied, with the deepest being located in the north of the site area, within the trenches on Vestry Street. Indications of at least one plough furrow was revealed in trench 3 which would suggest that at least part of the site area was used as farmland during the medieval period. There is an indication that post-medieval quarrying activity had been undertaken within the proposed development area, evident from deep steep sided pits in the south of the area, and the large depth of modern levelling layers in the area to the north. Trenches 2, 3 and 4 all contained evidence for the mid-late 19th century buildings that formerly stood on the site. No archaeological features or finds pre-dating the 19th century were recovered from the site, except for a single sherd of post-medieval earthen ware.
