Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was conducted by PCA during the excavation of a BT service trench along Horse Guards Avenue and Whitehall, City of Westminster. The watching brief, commissioned by COLT, was undertaken in March and April of 2009. During the excavation of the trench numerous walls, surfaces and bedding layers were recorded. These range in date from the late medieval to early post-medieval period to the late 19th to early 20th century. The earliest structural remains encountered may form part of the late medieval to early post-medieval palace, whilst structural remains observed in the eastern and western halves of the trench are likely associated with the mid post-medieval palace complex. Evidence for subsequent remodellings of the palace complex were also seen, attributable to the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. |
