Abstract:		 Albion Archaeology were commissioned to undertake an archaeological watching brief during demolition works at the former bus depot at Peacock Lane Leicester, and a subsequent programme of archaeological trial trenching to evaluate the site's archaeological potential. The watching brief was able to demonstrate that no significant archaeological features or remains were exposed during the demolition and removal of the bus depot concrete floor slabs and inspection pits. The trial trenching evaluation confirmed the presence of significant archaeological remains had survived at the site despite the impact of modern development. Undisturbed Roman archaeological layers, including a potential Roman building in the eastern part of the site, were generally found in all trenches. Due to the depth of burial of the Roman deposits in the base of the trenches it was only possible to determine their thickness by machine-cut sondages in a few selected areas. Two rubbish pits directly truncating the Roman deposits in Trench 8 contained remains of ironworking and/or smithing, suggesting that the area reverted to open ground and industrial use in the post-Roman and medieval period. The medieval and post-medieval layers and features across the site consisted of thick cultivation and soil layers and pitting activity with a further horizon of possible levelling and clearing activity. The cultivation and soil layers and pits also suggest mainly horticulture or
