Abstract: |
An evaluation of 5 test pits with further drilled core and window samples within the basements of numerous properties at the junction of Camomile Street with Bishopsgate. Natural gravel was encounted in several Test pits at 11.8m OD to 12.1m OD, beneath varying thickness of truncated brickearth, which survived to a maximum height of 12.96m OD. In most cases natural ground was truncated by Roman, Medieval and Post medieval pits, mainly for gravel and brickearth extraction and later backfilled with domestic refuse. Possible evidence of tanning industry was recorded within the centre of the site, while a fragment of medieval-early post medieval cellar survived at c 14.7m OD below present day Clerk's Place. Later post medeival brick footings also survived across the site, some may relate to known development of the site at this time (Earl of Oxford's Inn and Parish Clerks Hall). |
