Abstract:		 The report considered the archaeological potential of the site, and the likely impact on this of the proposed redevelopment. The site was located outside of the Roman and medieval city, approximately 650m to the west of the old City Wall. Probable archaeological remains in this area may consist of features associated with Roman to medieval farming and quarrying, medieval building remains along the Chancery Lane frontage and post-medieval building remains. There was also some potential for isolated Roman burials and also redeposited Saxon finds. The scheme was to involve the retention of the existing basement slab. New lift pits would be constructed through the slab in two new core areas and additional new piled foundations would be required. The overall impact of the scheme on archaeological deposits was considered to be relatively low, partly due to the character of deposits in this part of the City and also due to the relatively small areas of impact below the basement slab. The report concluded that further investigation (field evaluation) would be necessary to determine the exact nature and depth of any surviving deposits in areas of impact. This evaluation could take place at the same time as future geotechnical investigations undertaken by the development. The building was currently occupied and it was not possible to undertake trial work at this stage. [Au(abr)]
