Abstract: |
A field evaluation at the former building 50 site encountered a series of small scale, successive timber stake and wattle structures inland from the current line of the Thames River Wall. This was dated to the medieval periods from C14 evidence. They were considered to represent former fence lines, possibly fish traps, and the possible foundations to an earthen River Wall, which was observed to overlie these structures. Two ditches were encountered and these were considered to be contemporary elements of the network of drainage ditches. The well preserved remains of the Proof House were recorded. Nineteenth century land reclamation works in the form of a channels, brick culverts and timber pilings were also recorded. [Au(adp)] |
