Abstract:		 Archaeological work has been carried out by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) at Stable Block, Nevill Holt Hall, Leicestershire (SP 816 937) in advance of the removal of a temporary opera house structure and its replacement by a permanent structure that would include the deepening of the current orchestra pit within the stable courtyard, and other excavations that would most likely destroy the extant archaeological remains within the site. The work was required as a condition of planning consent and was commissioned by Rural Solutions Planning Consultants and is in accordance with NPPF Section 12: Enhancing and Conserving the Historic Environment. Nevill Holt Hall and is a complex set of buildings, with their origins in the 13th century. The stable block is also a complex structure, dating from the 17th and 19th centuries with many changes and alterations, and most likely built on the footprint of an earlier hospital. A series of archaeological investigations were carried out during renovation work on the Hall between 2000-2004 and on the stable block between 2005-2006, in advance of the construction of a new swimming pool inside the east wing of the stable block and the temporary opera house structure within the stable courtyard. The new work involved the archaeological monitoring of the stripping of the courtyard down to archaeological layers or natural sub-stratum in advance of the next stage of work and the recording of a number of exploratory test pits in and around the stable block. The test pits revealed information on the various foundations of the stable buildings and the stripping of the courtyard revealed a number of features that had previously been revealed. These were recorded in greater detail before their eventual destruction. The archive for this work will be deposited with Leicestershire Museums with accession number X.A112.2016.
