Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by University of Leicester Archaeological Services on land at the former James Went Building, off Oxford Street, Leicester (SK 5846 0404). The work was carried out in response to development proposals for a new centre of excellence building as a part of the redevelopment at De Montfort Univerty in February 2006 and consisted of two trial trenches. Archaeological features relating to Roman, medieval and post-medieval occupation on the site were revealed in the two trenches. The densest activity was recorded in Trench 2, close to the Oxford Street frontage where evidence of Roman property boundary activity was revealed beneath medieval garden soil. Later medieval and post-medieval pitting was also observed on the site although all the deposits had been badly damaged by later intrusions. |
