Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Between 2006 and 2008 a series of excavations were carried out on behalf of De Montfort University ahead of construction of the new PACE and Hugh Aston Buildings. Roman features identified across the site included ditches marking field boundaries and road edges. Pottery recovered from them suggests they date to the late 1st to early 2nd century AD. The roadside ditches showed evidence of repeated re-cutting continuing into the 4th century AD. Adjacent to the Tripontium Road, a series of yard surfaces and post alignments suggest more established occupation, including stock-enclosures and industrial processes such as metal working. During the early medieval period, the evidence suggests that the area would have been open farmland prior to its inclusion within the Newarke religious precinct. Adjacent to Oxford Street, extensive evidence of occupation from the 12th century onwards was uncovered. The footings for at least two timber buildings were identified, both pre-dating the Newarke, as well as numerous cess pits, yard surfaces, and post alignments indicative of property boundaries. The presence of a corn-drying oven and areas of metal slag suggests both malting and metal-working were being carried out in the vicinity. Medieval occupation outside the Newarke was sealed beneath the up-cast soil from the Civil War ditch indicating the area had been cleared of buildings in preparation for the siege of Leicester in 1645.
