Abstract:		 University of Leicester Archaeological Services undertook the hand-excavation of four trial trenches of varying size in the car park at the Jewry Wall Museum, Leicester (NGR SK 58191 04509). The site is a Scheduled Ancient Monument (Remains of Roman Bathhouse, Palaestra and Anglo-Saxon Church: List entry 1013312). The work investigated the depth and preservation of archaeological deposits beneath the extant raised classroom block at Vaughan College, to establish how they might be affected by the construction of a new classroom beneath it. The work took place in an area originally excavated in the 1930s (Kenyon 1948), later occupied by Vaughan College. The area was subject to previous archaeological interventions in the late 1990s. Despite heavy truncation and disturbance associated with the construction of Vaughan College, the work revealed areas of surviving archaeology below the car park make-up layers. Trench 1 was the largest trench, measuring 6 x 2m, and it located remains associated with two parallel walls excavated by Kenyon- part of the 'northern shops' which are believed to be pre-Bathhouse. The trench also revealed a series of pits representing both Roman and modern activity as well as intact buried soil/trample layers. Trench 3 located a compact mortar deposit, surviving beneath modern disturbance, although the nature of this feature was unclear. Although most of the finds from the site were recovered from mixed and redeposited contexts, the date range of the pottery, from the mid-late 1st to mid- 2nd century is consistent with earlier archaeological work on this part of the site, which indicates activity pre-dating the construction of the Baths c. 130 AD. Evidence for modern services and concrete foundations restricted the excavation of trenches close to the entrance to the modern building.
