Abstract:		 The most significant remains excavated were 36 Roman inhumations, which were all aligned with the city boundary. Graves emptied in Roman times as well as redeposited human bones were recorded. There were extensive medieval quarries as well as a series of round pits (often with oblong extensions) and a medieval barrel well. In later medieval and Tudor times onwards the area became peppered with cess pits, indicating the proximity of habitation. The earliest of these contained (broken) large cooking pots. A series of round brick wells constructed during the 17th or 18th centuries and 19th century cellars were recorded on the Houndsditch frontage. The Drill Hall, which started life as a rag market or 'clothes exchange' in the mid-19th century, was recorded before demolition. [Au(abr)]
