Abstract: |
The evaluation conducted on land at 22 to24 Batemans Row Shoreditch revealed natural gravel and clay silt cut by a large east - west ditch at a depth of 2.40m below the current ground level. This cut may relate to a ditch surrounding the Priory Boundary wall and not the Saxon ditch from which Shoreditch takes its name. The evidence from finds including medieval pot dated 1140 to 1300. These dates coincide with the time that the Priory was founded and still in use. The Northern bank was located but the southern bank was not exposed, suggesting the ditch was in excess of 7.00m in width. There was no evidence of prehistoric, Roman, or Saxon artefacts or features on the study site. |
