Abstract: |
John Moore Heritage Services carried out an archaeological a watching brief and a second phase of archaeological evaluation at 61-63 Great Eastern Street, Shoreditch, London. Along the rear of the Griffin public house, 19th century cellars backfilled with 20th century rubble and rubbish were recorded during the watching brief. These cellars disturbed midden deposits believed to date from the 18th century. Less disturbed and deeper midden deposits were recorded towards the north end of the rear of the pub. During the evaluation further backfilled cellars were identified in the SW of the area and a late 20th century wall further to the east. In the north evaluation trench, Trench 8, a cobbled surface was identified and below this there were multiple tip deposits and layers of made up ground that were dated to the 19th century or later. These layers were deposited above darker midden deposits and the lower of these deposits contained 18th century material. This layer also contained a very small number of 19th and 20th century items which may have been intrusive or poorly stratified. Walls were identified at either end of the Trench 8. A red brick wall running N-S was identified in the west and another wall in the east that was associated with a recently demolished 20th century building. Towards the south end of the cobbled surface a brick wall was recorded running E-W. The wall was constructed from bricks with a yellow fabric which were similar to those associated with the recently demolished buildings and it is likely that this wall contained a courtyard area associated with these buildings. |
