Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was carried out in two areas, in response to a planning condition. The evaluation of Tower Hill West revealed the presence of 2nd-4th century Roman activity, comprising a small number of intercutting pits and a ditch. Roman finds indicated that a high status building had existed in the vicinity. These finds were sealed by Late Roman cultivation layers, into which three post holes and a rubbish pit that contained pottery of an 11th/13th century date had been identified, sealed by a thick cultivation/abandonment layer dating from the 13th century onwards. A thick levelling deposit was identified in the trenches, which was thought to have represented post-Great Fire landscaping. Excavations in the Tower Gardens indicated extensive landscaping during the 20th century, but the northern wall had been constructed in the 18th/19th centuries. Post-medieval deposits were found in the gardens. It was concluded that the developments would disturb some/much of the archaeology [Au(abr)]
