Abstract: |
A watching brief was maintained on nine of seventeen mini-piles beneath a party wall, at a site which lay immediately to the west of a section of the Roman and medieval wall of the City of London. The site was thought to have lain on the area occupied by the City Ditch and the berm between the ditch and the wall. The City Wall had been constructed on the western wall of Cripplegate Fort, which had been laid out some time between AD 90 and 120. The probable fill of the medieval ditch was recorded within two of the observed piles. In pile 7, the material was in a poor condition and was not sampled. However, in Pile 9, the ditch fill was found to contain fragments of tile, metal, fish bones, mollusc and plant macrofossils. It was concluded that the underpinning inserted beneath the northern side of the party wall during the construction of Plaisterer's Hall had removed most of the City Ditch deposits beneath the wall.
