Middle Saxon remains at Covent Garden
Jeremy Taylor
199 - 203
Presents the results of excavations in the basement of an existing building at 33 Floral Street, Covent Garden. Evidence was revealed relating to the Middle Saxon period, including stakeholes, pits and postholes, and gravel surfaces representing an external courtyard area. Significant finds included a bone comb, a ceramic loomweight marked by textile and other impressions, and the first example of a copper-alloy sword pommel cap from Lundenwic. Post-medieval features included postholes, brick drains and mortar bedding for a brick floor.

A watching brief in 2001 at the site of the old Cottage Hospital at 85--105 Rochester Road, Carshalton, revealed fragmentary building remains probably originating in the fourteenth century, with substantial extensions in the eighteenth century. The site was the location of a large mansion house demolished in 1822. The article details the documentary, cartographic and pictorial evidence before describing the archaeological evidence.

From medieval malt house to 20th-century pub: excavations at 9-11 Poplar High Street,Lonon E14; excavations at 9--11 Poplar High Street, London E1...

215 - 222
Archaeological investigations in 2002 at the site of the former White Horse public house at 9--11 Poplar High Street revealed evidence of medieval and post-medieval settlement. Medieval remains included a fired surface, possibly part of a kiln or oven and itself sealed by backfills which contained pottery sherds dated to between 1240--1350. Subsequently a sequence of probable malting kilns or grain ovens was constructed. A shallow cellar to the north of the kiln sequence may have been a processing area. A charred deposit overlying the floor of the cellar was found to comprise mainly charcoal fragments including twigs and straw. A similar charred deposit from a sixteenth-century pit to the north contained large amounts of straw, cereal chaff and cereal grains. The kilns and cellar were backfilled with a mixture of mortar, brick and tile. A pit cut into the backfill contained pottery dated to the late-sixteenth century, as did two pits in the central area of the site. A tavern called The White Horse stood on the site from 1690 to immediately prior to the investigation. The earlier building was apparently demolished in the eighteenth century, and the debris layer contained a mix of artefacts and pottery, the latter dated to between 1745 and 1770. Also found were two Chinese porcelain bowls, an English porcelain saucer, two London stoneware tankards, a whiteware chamber pot, and three gaming counters made from sherds of tin-glazed ware. Other artefacts included drinking glasses, a small glass bowl and glass bottles. A large assemblage of nineteenth-century ceramics, glass and other finds were recovered from a soakaway and cesspit.
