Abstract: |
Archaeological attendance and recording was undertaken at Leicester City Football Club (LCFC), King Power Stadium, Raw Dykes Road, Leicester during the excavation of trial pits and observation pits excavated in advance of the construction of a new arena at the stadium. The site lies close to the Scheduled Monument of the Raw Dykes, the possible remains of an aqueduct into the Roman city of Ratae Corieltavorum (now Leicester). A total of three pits were observed, within Car Park E to the east of the main stadium building. A fourth pit was proposed, but abandoned. One pit contained a large amount of fuel ash lying over buried soils and alluvium with natural clay and sand beneath. The other two pits contained demolition debris and fuel ash over natural sand. No archaeological remains were identified. The archive for the site will be deposited with Leicester City Museums Service with accession number Y.A19.2019. |
