Abstract: |
An archaeological field evaluation was carried out on land adjacent to the former Nat West Bank, Grey Friars, Leicester (SK 5861 0437) on the 6th-10th August 2007. This work was carried out on behalf of Kaikoura Investments Limited, by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS). One evaluation trench was excavated beneath the former single-storey extension to the bank and revealed well preserved Roman to late post-medieval occupation and activity at a relatively shallow depth. This included probable Roman clay floor surfaces and earlier cut features with at least 0.6m of stratigraphy present. Possible earlier medieval timber structures, medieval pits and metalled surfaces with at least one probable early post-medieval wall foundation and post-medieval pits were also identified. The site archive will be held by Leicester City Museum under the accession number A9.2007 |
