Abstract:		 In August 2002, University of Leicester Archaeological Services supervised a third season training excavation at Leicester Abbey for second-year students of the School of Archaeological Studies, Leicester University. The work, directed by Richard Buckley and Steve Jones, comprised the examination of a series of trial trenches at Cavendish House, a mansion of 16th-early 17th century date, to supplement work undertaken there in 2000 and 2001, together with a trench at the presumed site of the abbey kitchen. The latter was located to target a complex of drains which appear on the surviving plans of the 1920s excavations. Although it was only a narrow trench, the results were very positive indicating good archaeological survival in this area in contrast with the evidence from previous seasons in the area of the chapter house. Two substantial, possibly 2m wide, walls were recorded at either end of the trench and would seem to represent the north and south walls of a large square structure located just to the south of the refectory. They appeared to be associated with floor levels and a considerable thickness of stratification. Some deposits proved to be of high potential for environmental remains, in particular, fish bone. In the centre of the trench was a small brick-lined oven, probably of the late 15th-early 16th century. The evidence, taken together with that from the 1920s excavation plan, would seem to confirm that this is the abbey kitchen, although further work would be required to establish its ground plan and dating.
