Abstract:
An archaeological evaluation by trial trenching was carried out on land at the corner of Camden Street and Earl Street, Leicester (SK 59136 04767) by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) on 19 November, 2018. Work was undertaken for XWR Ltd. in order to establish the nature, extent, date and significance of any archaeological deposits which may be present, in order that an assessment may be made of the impact of any proposed development on the buried remains. The application area comprised a c.170m sq area of hard standing. One 11m by 1.8m trenches were excavated to achieve a 12% sample of the development area. The evaluation produced limited evidence for late 19th-century and early 20th-century residential activity - namely a brick-lined well and a ceramic service pipe. No other archaeological features or deposits were recorded. On the balance of evidence recorded during the investigation, it would appear that ground across the application area was extensively reworked in the past, first through arable cultivation which dated back to the medieval period and probably further, then later in the 19th-century by domestic activity and most recently by the construction of industrial buildings in the late 20th century. No evidence was found to suggest other archaeological activity was taking place in the area. The archive will be held by Leicester Arts and Museum Service under the accession number Y.A22.2018.
