Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Leicestershire County Council, Historic and Natural Environment Team (LCCHNET) as archaeological advisors to the planning authority require that a strip, map and sample excavation is undertaken prior to development to assess the location, extent, significance and character of any buried archaeological remains.A trial trench evaluation for Phase 2 revealed substantial medieval remains (Jarvis 2015). Due to the unstable nature of the geology and present ground-surface, it was decided by the client not penetrate the ground level into the archaeological remains located by the previous evaluation. In order to accomplish this method of construction, it was decided to raise the floor levels above the archaeological horizon by a minimum of 0.50 metres achieved by piling and thus raising the floor levels. These levels as explained by the client have more than been achieved. The monitoring visit was required as a condition to ensure the ground-works were carried out without digging into the archaeological deposits below. Observation by the archaeologist was satisfied this was being fulfilled with only the made ground above the archaeology being worked and no other disturbance carried out with exception to the piling. Around the development area, boards have been positioned with the floor level heights displayed for each plot. A small photographic survey of the site was undertaken. A subsequent visit was not deemed necessary.
