Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by CgMs Consulting to excavate six trenches across approximately 0.3ha of land lying to the south of Kilwardby Street, Ashby de la Zouch, Leicestershire. A number of linear ditches or gullies probably represent property boundaries set out at 90° degrees to the medieval predecessor of Kilwardby Street. The evidence suggests that this part of Ashby de la Zouch became developed during or shortly after the 14th century, with subsequent developments occurring within a street plan which remained fairly static. Fairly widespread deposits probably representing garden soils were also encountered, along with occasional pits and postholes. Brick-built walls and drains of 19th- to 20th-century construction were noted in most trenches, with some impact on earlier horizons. The medieval and post-medieval remains are fairly sparse, and Site's relatively poor drainage conditions may account for this, with ground conditions too wet for prolonged or intense occupation. The evaluation produced a fairly small quantity of finds. The assemblage is dominated by pottery, which ranges in date from medieval to modern, although there is an emphasis on late medieval/early post-medieval wares. Relatively small charred plant assemblages were recorded in most of the samples. The types of cereal present within the samples are congruent with the pottery dating evidence. The plant assemblages appear to be indicative of general settlement waste. The medieval and post-medieval remains are pertinent to established research goals, and the Site overall is judged to be of local archaeological importance.
