| Abstract: |
Border Archaeology (BA) was instructed by MTX Contracts Ltd to carry out a programme of Archaeological Field Evaluation (AFE) in connection with the proposed relocation of East Midlands Congenital Heart Centre to University Hospital Leicester (Leicester Royal Infirmary) involving internal alterations and a three-storey extension to the existing Kensington Building (NGR SK 58583 03575) (Planning ref. 20182199). The site was located on the southeast side of Jarrom Street, roughly 1km from Leicester city centre, on a narrow sward between the street and the hospital buildings, which was considered likely to have been heavily landscaped and supplied with services during construction of the Kensington Building. Its importance in archaeological terms focused upon its location within the former boundaries of an extra-mural suburb of the Romano-British town of Ratae Corieltauvorum, with potential to contain significant evidence relating to the contemporary road network and water supply system. A single evaluation trench was opened, its dimensions reflecting the physical constraints of the site.The trench revealed modern made-ground deposits, together with service pipes and brick ducting, with no archaeological features or deposits encountered. |
