Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken on land at 7, Britannia Street, Shepshed, Leicestershire by the University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) on the 30th of April and the 1st of May 2014. Three trial trenches were excavated in response to proposals for residential development on the site. The site lies in the historic settlement core of Shepshed and contains the demolished remains of a Medieval hall house. The building was demolished in 1971 following a fire at the property and it was unclear how much of the original structure, and evidence for its occupation, remained. The evaluation has shown that there is high potential that evidence relating to the Medieval occupation of the building survives. Remarkably it appears that very little was removed from the site following demolition and the latest floor plan and upstanding lower walls of the building have survived intact beneath layers of rubble.
