Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at 39-41 Castle Street, Leicester between the 9th and 13th of July 2018 by the University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS). The southern part of the site lies within the Castle Scheduled Monument area with the strong chance that the outer edge of the castle bailey ditch may run across the site. The site was redeveloped in the late 1950s to create a modern office block and a bottling depot. Prior to the redevelopment a 19th century school and terraced houses occupied the space. Due to the potential for exposing Roman and medieval archaeological deposits and the chance of identifying the bailey ditch the City Archaeologist at Leicester City Council requested that an archaeological field evaluation take place to assess the nature and extent of any potentially surviving deposits. Three trenches were excavated with a total length of 25m across the available space which had a number of constraints due to live services and standing buildings. The results of the fieldwork identified that much of the site had been heavily disturbed by the 1950s work. Possible archaeological deposits may have been identified 3m below current ground level.
