Abstract:
An archaeological field evaluation was carried out on the site of the proposed Business and Law Building, The Newarke, Leicester (SK458450 304050 centre) on the 8th-24th May 2007. This work was carried out on behalf of De Montfort University by University of Leicester Archaeological Services. A total of five evaluation trenches were excavated in this stage of the project which, when outside of the demolition deposits of the former James Went building, revealed well preserved earlier medieval to late post-medieval occupation and activity. This included probable earlier medieval timber structures and associated surfaces, the Newarke Wall, 'garden' soils and a possible 'dark earth', a late medieval wall foundation, two early post-medieval stone wall foundations including probable floor surfaces and a path. The result of discovering these at such high levels meant that the evaluation of any Roman levels was hindered. One Roman pit was encountered dated to the first half of the second century. The site archive will be held by Leicestershire City Museums, accession number A2.2007.
