Abstract:		 A borehole survey and the archaeological monitoring of five geotechnical pits was undertaken across the site. Four archaeological test pits had previously been excavated across the site as part of the Fleet Valley Project. This trial work had concluded that a hitherto unknown early medieval ditch ran north-south parallel to the original Roman city wall. The dating evidence suggested that it was backfilled when the Blackfriars monastry was built. The watching brief undertaken of the geotechnical pits demonstrated that, instead of a ditch, the feature was in fact a series of massive quarry pits for the extraction of sand and gravel, backfilled in the late 12th to late 13th century. Possibly related to land reclamation that the Knights Templar undertook on the east bank of the River Fleet. The borehole survey indicated that the natural sand and gravel had been heavily truncated across the site and overlain by thick deposits of clay silt type material. [AIP]
