Abstract:		 The archaeological evaluation was undertaken in response to the proposed redevelopment of Broken Wharf House and Sir John Lyon House. Three test pits were excavated in the of the house. The evaluation generally confirmed what was suspected and described in an earlier desk-top assessment. The site sat astride a substantial cross-section of intact waterfront archaeology with activity dating from the 12th century or earlier up to the late medieval/post-medieval periods of an earlier derivation. The test-pits revealed the wall foundations of medieval tenements which overlay organic reclamation dumps which in turn sealed timber structures preserved in excellent condition in the waterlogged environment. The prehistoric riverbed and Roman and Saxon foreshores (and also possibly Saxon waterfront structures) could be assumed to exist beneath the medieval material. The report recommended that, when development of the site is undertaken, provision should be made for the archaeology to be preserved by record where it can not be preserved in situ. [Au(adp)]
