Abstract:		 An Archaeological strip, plan and sample excavation was undertaken by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) on behalf of Leicester City Council prior to redevelopment of land within the compound of Friars Mill, Bath Lane, Leicester. The site lies within the north-west quarter of the Roman and Medieval walled town and offered high potential for the survival of archaeological remains. The particular area of interest lies on the south-east corner of the proposed development site and a previous evaluation trench excavated by ULAS (Thomas 2015) exposed the remains of a Roman structural wall running north-west to south ULAS Report 2015-170 30 east with associated surrounding deposits. Further investigation revealed more of the wall, mortar floor surfaces, a surviving section of north-east to south-west structural wall, a metalled surface, a linear feature and a large post-hole. No evidence of the Roman or medieval town defences were found but a large gravel deposit on the northern edge of the site may have been the fill of a large earthwork. Roman building materials, pottery fragments and some metal finds were recovered. The site archive will be held by Leicester City Museum Service under the accession code A10.2015.
