Huh. Leicester archaeology has really been hitting it out of the park this last decade. First Richard III's body, and now this.

The fun part is that this discovery is directly related to that one. They discovered this while constructing a visitor's centre about Richard III!

Excited to see what they dig up when building the visitors’s centre for the Roman altar! Hopefully a celtic ruin of some kind. Below that something neolithic.
