| Abstract: |
Following the discovery of human remains during enabling works an archaeological watching brief was undertaken on the groundworks for the redevelopment of the site as bars, a restaurant and a night club. The bones were identified as ancient and most likely originated from the graveyard of the medieval church of St Edmund, which once occupied part of the site. Very little in terms of actual archaeological occupation deposits and/or structures were revealed. The isolated human remains recovered were disarticulated and were not part of any larger assemblage remaining on the site, and it was therefore likely that they represented material disturbed during the construction of the Silvergate building. A single stratified archaeological deposit was revealed at the limit of excavation, in what was already a relatively shallow trench, and was therefore very limited in extent. Given the depth of the cellar, which was of the order of 3-4m below the external street level, it was likely that this deposit was Roman in origin, and the very limited quantity of finds recovered seemed to confirm this assumption.
