Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken on three drop shafts in the Milton Court area in the City of London, as part of a highway improvement scheme. This watching brief uncovered the remains of three probable basements / coal cellars, all of 19th / 20th century date, and presumably part of the post-1870s development of the area. An indication of earlier activity in this area was provided in shaft 3, where 17th / 18th century pottery and clay pipe was recovered from the construction backfill of the cellars. Natural deposits - a yellow-brown clayey-gravel deposit - were observed in all three shafts, at an uppermost level of 12.18mOD. These natural deposits have, in general, been truncated by the basements and/or coal cellars.
