Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief at the site of groundworks in advance of construction at 1, Plough Place, London EC4, revealed the presence of a large feature filled with waterlain and alluvial deposits. Towards the centre of the feature large quantities of roofing peg tiles had been dumped into it, and pottery, mostly from the mid-fourteenth to fifteenth century, was also recovered. Twenty-four pieces of leather of comparable date were recovered. There were indications that the original stream channel ran along the western and southern margin. Geoarchaeological and pollen-stratigraphical analyses were undertaken which indicated the presence of an artificial pond fringed by open vegetation, with human activity nearby. The possible purpose of the feature is discussed, along with apparent deliberate infilling in the late-fifteenth century. Later features include a Kentish ragstone and chalk wall (part of the cellar of a building) and two barrel wells. The timber casks from the barrel wells are described in detail, as are the rim of an early post-medieval redware watering can and fragments of a copper cooking vessel, both found in the fill of one of the wells.
