Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was conducted on a geotechnical site investigation at 87-95 Curtain Road, Shoreditch, London Borough of Hackney. The site is centred at National Grid Reference TQ 3325 8244. The watching brief found evidence for flood plain gravel, which forms a terrace of higher ground overlooking the River Thames, in turn sealed by natural brickearth. Re-deposited brickearth and post-medieval layers/fills predating the construction of the existing building were observed within the basement, and may date to the late 17th century. These layers/fills can be speculated to belong to a recut of the N-S return of the ditch surrounding Holywell Priory located just to the east of the study site which survived as a boundary feature well into the 18th century. Natural deposits were not encountered elsewhere on site and the remainder of the deposits within the monitored test pits constituted concrete slabs, made ground and backfills. These were associated with the construction of the foundation and floors of the existing buildings which currently occupy the site.
