Abstract: |
Between January and February 2013, Oxford Archaeology undertook an archaeological watching brief in Pump Court, Middle Temple, within the Corporation of London, during the excavation of a service trench between numbers 5 and 6 and the Lamb Building. Evidence for several 17th-century brick walls forming two demolished and backfilled cellars was observed together with associated surfaces and a buried soil horizon. Sealing the truncated remains of the cellars were deep deposits of 18th/19th- century made ground overlaid by the present day courtyard. It is probable that the truncated cellars are the remnants of earlier buildings that have been destroyed by fire - mostly likely the fire of 1678. No evidence for activity pre-dating the 16th-century was observed, mostly likely due to the limited depth of impact of the trench |
