Abstract:		 AOC Archaeology Group undertook a watching brief at 8 Herbal Hill, Farringdon, London. The work comprised the recording of four trenches dug in the basement of the property. Analysis of the despoists and features observed during the course of the watching brief identified one main phase of archaeological activity present on site dating to the late 16th to 17th century. The deposits pre-dating this relate to the natural topography of the site. The late 16th to 17th century is represented by two distinct archaeological formations on site. In the area of the main basement the archaeological sequence is formed of a systematic sequence of made ground dumps which significantly raised the immediate ground level of the area during this period. In the area of the lower basement there was a northwest-southeast orientated boundary ditch which was backfilled during the first half of the 17th century. Both areas had been horizontally truncated during the construction of the currently existing building. The evidence recorded during the watching brief strongly supports the indication that the area of the site was being heavily modified and re-landscaped during the late 16th to 17th century, most likely to be associated with landreclimation adjacent to the River Fleet.
