Abstract:		 An Archaeological watching brief was carried out at Great Holme St, Braunstone Gate: (Narborough Road Retail Park) , Leicester. Previous work showed it is located in an area of high archaeological potential on the site of a known Roman cemetery and other Roman domestic and industrial activity. More specifically, within the actual footprint of the proposed building, a Roman burial with a unique wooden coffin surviving was found in excavations in the 1970s. The site is close to the Roman Fosse Way so it is likely that this activity represents at least 'ribbon development' relating to this road, and perhaps a more substantial suburban site here. The medieval potential is perhaps less significant as for at least some of this period the site may have been in agricultural use. However, ditches and pits have previously been recorded within the proposed area and waterlogged materials of this date survive here too. The footprint lies on a known medieval watercourse and the site is therefore of some potential for the survival of timber structural remains. Earlier river hannels may also survive. No finds or features were recorded duriong the watchiong brief, as the groundworks affected disturbed ground, natural deposits and garden soils only.
