Abstract:		 The excavation of deep drainage trenches and shafts and a series of geotechnical trial pits were archaeologically monitored in the basement at 147 & 148 Leadenhall Street in response to a condition imposed upon planning position. A number of archaeological features, including a Roman quarry pit in excess of 3m deep, Roman concrete and tile floors, the burnt debris of timber framed walls, medieval pits and a post-medieval well, were recorded. The Roman quarry pits were of interest, not least because the dating of their backfill appeared to coincide with the dating of quarry pits on nearby 7-11 Bishopsgate (following the Hadrianic Fire of AD 120). It was not possible to comment on the status and function of the Roman concrete floored buildings save to register their presence and the level of their floors. However, in comparison to 7-11 Bishopgate the hypothesis was advanced that they were buildings constructed during a city-wide rebuilding episode following the disastrous Hadrianic fire and that they perished, in turn, in a general conflagration in c.AD 200.
