Abstract: |
A watching brief was maintained during the undertaking of a geotechnical borehole survey in advance of redevelopment, in order to gain a preview of potential archaeological deposits in advance of proposed test excavations. Timber fragments and organic material suggested that revetments of some antiquity had survived. No significant datable material was recovered, but it was suggested on the basis of predicted alignments that the northern revetment represented a later Roman quay, and that a second structure was of medieval or later date. Remains of the former Tower Dock were noted, and abraded ceramic fragments were found. [AIP] |
