Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by the University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) between the 8th and the 16th of November 2010 during the course of the excavation of a television camera mast base and cable trenches for a cctv system in the north-west corner of the park. The cable channel runs from a walled works depot, on the site of former abbey farm buildings, northwards to the north east corner of the original entrance to the abbey. An east to west wall, probably relating to a former dovecote garden was located as was part of the western boundary wall of the abbey entrance halt-way. The north foundation wall of a stone-fronted outbuilding within the depot was located indicating that the range of buildings extended further west than at present. Elsewhere evidence for remodelling and landscaping, probably dating to the twentieth century, was also recorded. Records will be deposited with Leicester City Council under Accession Number A14.2010 |
