Abstract:		 Two trial pits (2.7m by 2.7m and 2.9m by 2.8m) were excavated as an evaluation of the site proposed as the Common Parts Basement of the new Spitalfields redevelopment. The site lay within Scheduled Ancient Monument G1162 and consent was obtained before the trial pits were excavated. The site lay within the precincts of the Priory and Hospital of St Mary Spital and probably within its cemetery. The site immediately to the east was excavated in 1985 when some 400 medieval burials were recovered. The site also lay close to a post-medieval mansion on the site known as Spittle House and later Bolingbroke House. One burial, presumably medieval in date, was located within the cemetery, with the medieval boundary wall of the cemetery to its west. Not all of the area available for excavation were excavated so further burials may lay within the evaluation area. A possible timber drain was also recorded. On the west side of both trial pits lay the east wall of a brick building, possibly Spittle House. In the southern trial pit the south wall of the brick building was located. To it's east lay a brick cesspit. [Au(adp)]
