Abstract:		 This Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment (ADBA) was undertaken by Border Archaeology Ltd (BA) in response to an instruction from Marcus Wright Esq., Second Home, with regard to the construction of a proposed six storey extension, comprising offices with commercial premises at ground floor level within an existing car park to the E of Britannia House, 68-80 Hanbury Street, Spitalfields, London E1 5JL (NGR TQ 33981 81894). The site is not located within an Archaeological Priority Area (APA); the nearest APA being that relating to Spitalfields and Brick Lane, the E boundary of which lies about 35m W of the site (Historic England 2017). However, it is situated within the boundary of the Conservation Area of Brick Lane and Fournier Street as defined by Tower Hamlets Borough Council. The site does not contain any designated (protected) heritage assets, such as Scheduled Ancient Monuments (SAMs), listed buildings or registered parks and gardens. The overall archaeological potential of the site has been assessed as Low to Moderate. This reflects the location of the site outside the Archaeological Priority Area associated with the Romano-British extra-mural cemetery at Spitalfields and the medieval precinct of St Mary Spital, the limited results of previous fieldwork in the immediate vicinity of the site and the relatively shallow depth of the proposed groundworks for the new extension. There is slightly increased potential for excavations to reveal evidence of buried structural remains of post-medieval date (including cellarage) relating either to the late 17th century townhouses which stood along the N edge of the site (fronting onto Hanbury Street) or the late Victorian commercial buildings recorded within the central and southern portions of the site.
