Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out on the site of 41-53 Threadneedle Street and 1-17 Old Broad Street prior to proposed redevelopment. Five archaeological test pits were excavated under archaeological supervision in the south-eastern part of the site within the basement of the existing building. A sixth test pit was located externally at Adam's Court. Another eleven test pits were excavated by contractors for geotechnical reasons, two of which revealed in situ archaeological deposits. Above the natural deposits were Roman occupation layers and Roman or medieval pits. Chalk walls, probably medieval in date, were located in two of the pits. Post-medieval deposits including a roughly built brick wall were located in the pit in Adam's Court. Deposits survived at their highest in Adam's Court. [Au(abr)] |
