Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out in advance of redevelopment. In the past, remains of both Roman and medieval date had been found on or near the sites. The southern boundaries of both were along the line of the 1280s-1300 extension to the City wall, which included two interval towers suspected to project into the sites. The west site was also known to contain substantial deposits associated with the River Fleet. Much of the western part of the Eastern site was truncated into the underlying river terrace gravels. This may have been the result of the construction of basements in the 19th century, but was most likely to have been the result of recent truncation caused by temporary works associated with the construction of the Thameslink. To the east, all of the pile positions tested indicated natural river terrace surviving to levels at or above the site formation level. [Au(adp)] |
