Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) in July 2011, during the restoration and reconstruction of the 1930s piers located within the abbey church at Leicester Abbey, in Abbey Park. No traces of upstanding archaeological remains relating to the medieval church were revealed during the course of the work. The piers were largely constructed of mortared granite and sandstone rubble, infilled with loose rubble and earth. Although it is possible that much of this material was brought in specifically for the work, the loose rubble was found to include occasional fragments of moulded architectural masonry, which is likely to have been recovered from the excavations of 1929-32. In addition to the masonry, a fragment of inlaid 14th century floor tile was found. The report contains a cataologue of the material recovered and the archive is to be deposited with Leicester city Museums under the Accession Number A8.2011.
