Abstract:		 An archaeological trial-trench evaluation was carried out on land at Moat Street, Wigston, Leicestershire (SP 6069 9855) by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) between 3-8 October 2013. The work was carried out on behalf of GS Developments (Leicester) Ltd in advance of the proposed redevelopment of the site. Three 40m x 1.6m, one 23m x 1.6m, one 18m x 1.6m and one 9m x 1.6m trenches, totalling 272.8 square meters were excavated across the site. Overall, the result of the trial-trenching was negative for archaeological activity. In all six trenches, groundwork associated with the site's former occupation had caused extensive damage to the underlying terrain. No preserved topsoil or subsoil was noted across the site and it appeared that ground level had been significantly reduced down to the natural substratum, sometime in the past. This presumably coincides with recent occupation of the site as St Georges Houses. The site archive will be held by Leicestershire County Council Museum Services under the accession number X.A156.2013.
