Abstract: |
University of Leicester Archaeological Services was commissioned by Leicester General Hospital to undertake an archaeological watching brief during the groundworks in advance of the construction of a temporary car off Gwendolan Road, within the General Hospital site. A single Romano-British ditch, which had been badly truncated, was exposed and sample excavated and pottery sherds with a probable terminal date in mid or late first century AD were retrieved. Evidence of post-medieval limestone quarrying, for which the area is well known, was observed within the northern part of the proposed development area. Due to the shallow formation level and the temporary nature of the works other archaeological deposits may remain below the formation level of the car park. The archive will be held by Leicester City Council, under the accession number A1. 2010. |
