| Abstract: |
A series of ten engineer's test-pits were recorded archaeologically as part of further evaluation prior to proposed redevelopment at Monument House. Four of them revealed archaeological remains. The central area of the site produced a sequence of deposits and features ranging in date from the Roman through to the post-Great Fire period. The northern and southern ends of the development area contained relatively little or no survival of horizontal archaeological strata, although cut features of some importance may have been present. It was concluded that the archaeological sequence should be preserved by record where it could not be preserved in situ. The report suggested that the deposits in the central area of the site would benefit from an open-plan controlled excavation, whilst a watching or stopping-brief may be appropriate for the northern and southern ends of the site.
