Abstract: |
Five test pits measuring 1m x 1m were planned to be opened in and around the Treasury Building, Inner temple, City of London EC4. In the event, only four test pits (TP1-4) were opened whilst the fifth, TP5 was abandoned due to its proximity to a live service. The purpose of the pits was to assess the foundations of the building and where possible, to retrieve bricks or material from its earlier foundations. In each case the excavators encountered a concrete foundation c.1m in depth which required a concrete corer to pierce their thickness. At this point work on the test pits ceased and no further work was done. No archaeological layers or geological deposits were reached by the operation. |
