Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	An archaeological watching brief was carried out on the site of Groby Castle at St Philip and St James Church, Groby, Leicestershire (SK 523 076) on 9th November by University of Leicester Archaeological Services. The work was undertaken on behalf of St Philip and St James Church in advance of dismantling and rebuilding a revetted boundary wall to the east of the church. The work involved the observation and inspection of the demolition of the original wall and the machine excavated foundation trench for its replacement. The results of the investigation revealed a substantial masonry wall, tile floor and demolition deposits of 14th or 15th century date all believed to be associated with buildings belonging to the manorial complex that succeeded the castle. Evidence of activity pre-dating these structures was present in the form of an expansive spread of charcoal and ash resting on scorched natural clays. The site archive will be held by Leicestershire County Council Museum Services under the accession number X.A.242.2009.
