Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken during the replacement of basement slabs and drainage runs across 87-89 Aldgate High Street and 37 Jewry Street. The site was located within an area of considerable archaeological potential which included the remains of the Roman City Wall, a Scheduled Ancient Monument. Scheduled Monument Consent was required prior to refurbishment. No archaeological excavation was undertaken and only deposits exposed by the groundworks were examined. During the ground works deposits possibly associated with the extra mural City Ditch and, in the very north of the site, clay and flint nodule foundations associated with the Roman Wall or Gates were exposed. Also exposed was masonry composed of chalk and ragstone, a brick built inspection chamber, possibly associated with a major sewer or culvert, brick masonry walls and a brick lined well or soakaway.
