Abstract:
An Archaeologist was in attendance for groundworks undertaken on 6th, 23rd and 29th August, 2018 by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) on land at Brookfield House, London Road, Leicester on behalf of Leicester City Council. The fieldwork was a post-determination requirement on a proposed planning application (Planning Ref: 20171883) for the demolition of parts of buildings, construction of single storey and three storey extensions to side, in accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) Section 12.Two adjacent areas were monitored, the first an oval area for a proposed lecture theatre and the second area, on a higher terrace above it, further rooms and offices. The foundations of the former were excavated and then unfortunately the base covered with a concrete screed before the archaeologist was able to assess for archaeological remains. The sections in the lower foundations uncovered evidence of pre-existing brick structures that penetrated below ground level c 0.50m but did not pre-date the 19th century The higher area was only excavated by the developers to sufficient depth to reveal natural ground in only a few very small areas, which were clear of archaeology, while the rest of the foundations were too shallow to reach natural ground.
