Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was carried out on land behind 1-3, Grey Friars, Leicester (SK 58600 04348) on the 24th and 31st July 2007. This work was carried out on behalf of Leicester City Council, by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS). Roman metalling and silt layers were observed for 0.6m depth, in an area 4msq, which dated from the late 1st - mid 3rd century AD. The area lies c.5m from a projected Roman north-south street. Due to the size of the intervention interpretation remains as either a sequence of street metalling or yard surfaces. The medieval period was represented with c.1m of garden soil. The site archive will be held by Leicester City Museum under the accession number A8.2007. |
