Abstract: |
An Archaeological evaluation was carried out on land at 432 Melton Road, Leicester (SK 6032 0805) on the 1st-2nd March 2006 in advance of the proposed construction of a care home development. This work was carried out on behalf of Shanti Niketan Ltd. by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS). A total of three evaluation trenches were excavated which revealed a parallel Roman ditch and gulley feature, a Roman pit and sealed Roman layers containing Roman pottery fragments. This site when discussed with the Fosse Way Roman road immediately to the east, highlights the evidence of Roman occupation near to Leicester and to the Fosse Way. The site archive will be held by Leicester City Council, accession number A12.2006. |
