Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	During the spring of 2012 an archaeological evaluation was undertaken on a c.6150 sq. m parcel of land in Leicester, on the north-east corner of Highcross Street and Vaughan Way (SK 58309 04771 centre), as part of a pre-planning enquiry on behalf of Ingelby (1245) Ltd. Fieldwork was carried out over a three week period between 22nd April and 11th May, 2012 by staff of University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS). In all, seven c.30m by c.3m trenches were excavated across the site with two further trenches not completed because part of the site was unavailable for evaluation, being still occupied by derelict and unstable buildings. The evaluation recorded significant survival of Roman archaeology across the site, including parts of a street, evidence of stone and timber buildings, a mosaic pavement, pits and yard surfaces. Medieval archaeology survived to a lesser extent, predominantly in the form of pits and garden soils with only Trench 5 on the Highcross Street frontage exposing structural evidence. The archaeology was typically found c.2m below present ground level sealed beneath thick deposits of medieval and post-medieval garden soil, but in places survived as shallow as c.1.3m (the mosaic) in Trench 2, c.1m in Trench 4 and c.0.9m in Trench 5. The site archive will be held by Leicester Museum Service under the accession number A.8.2012.
