Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation consisting of three small trenches excavated through the floor of the basement revealed Thames terrace gravels at a depth of 10.25m OD, overlain by various depths of sterile made ground. Overlying the made ground were the remains of 18th-19th century structures comprising a short stretch of wall orientated north-south, and a soak-away. The stretch of wall was located on a previous property boundary that may have had its origins in the original property boundaries of the burhgage plots established along Fleet Street in the medieval period. Evidence for the demolition of these structures was recorded. The main structural foundations of the present extant buildings were observed to completely truncate (in the specific areas where they existed) all previous remains. [Au(abr)] |
