Abstract: |
An archaeological field evaluation by trial trenching was undertaken at Lower Lee Street, Leicester by University of Leicester Archaeological Services in response to development proposals for a seven-storey mixed-use residential and commercial building in March 2014. Three were excavated within the development site an area defined as having archaeological potential as it was located eastern outskirts of the Roman and medieval town of Leicester and is close to the Fosse Way Roman Road. The evaluation revealed truncated Roman post holes and pit located under a deep medieval/post-medieval horticultural soil. The Roman deposits, are thought to be associated with potential extra-mural properties that fronted on to Fosse Way. The site archive will be held with Leicester Museum Service, under the accession code: A13.2014. |
