Abstract:
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at Bede Street, Leicester (SK 579 039) by ULAS between 11-17/06/03. The work was commissioned by Hallam Contracts and Hazel Homes. Excavation revealed that the pre-19th century topography comprised a gradual fall across the site towards the river edge. Potential buried ground surfaces were seen to lie above the natural alluvium across the site that may indicate occupation within the vicinity. Close to the Western Road frontage, within the area of the projected line of the Fosse Way, two evaluation trenches revealed the surviving remains of a section of Roman road. The road survived fairly close to the existing ground surface, and was visible as a series of compact metalled surfaces. Western and eastern road side ditches were present. The original camber of the road may also have been visible. The site archive will be deposited with Leicester City Council under the Accession Number A12 2003.
