Abstract:		 The archaeological watching brief revealed medieval ground reclamation deposits overlying the foreshore. Documentary evidence suggested that the waterfront had advanced 100 feet to the south in 1396, if it had then the earlier wall would have been located within the footprint of the proposed development. The probable date of deposition suggested by recovered tile and pottery supported the hypothesis that the wall was likely to have been located in Victoria House. Reclamation deposits interpreted as being associated with the 1396 wall contained large quantities of organic material such as straw and wood and leather artefacts. The test pits excavated in Whitefriars House demonstrated that the lowest medieval ground reclamation deposits associated with the construction of the 1396 river wall had survived truncation by the present standing building. The composition of the reclamation deposits recorded in these pits was the same as those recorded to the north and west during the evaluation of the site and as such would potentially provide a rich source of medieval artefacts such as leather and metal.
