Abstract: |
An archaeological field evaluation by trial trenching was undertaken at Lower Lee Street, Leicester by University of Leicester Archaeological Services in response to development proposals for a seven-storey residential and commercial building in June 2018. Two trenches were excavated within the development site an area defined as having archaeological potential as it was located eastern outskirts of the Roman and medieval town of Leicester and is close to the Fosse Way Roman Road. The evaluation revealed truncated Roman post holes, beam slot and ditch located under a deep medieval/post-medieval horticultural soil. The Roman deposits, are thought to be associated with potential extra-mural properties that fronted on to Fosse Way. The pottery sherds recovered from the features formed a coherent group of material, which were dated to the first half of the 2nd century. The site archive will be held with Leicester Museum Service, under the accession code: Y.A11.2018. |
