Abstract:		 Archaeological monitoring took place during groundworks for a temporary metal artwork known as 'Altar', on the lawned area to the southwest of St Botolph's Church. This forms part of Sculpture in the City 2015, the City's annual public art programme. The foundations comprised 4 metal spikes driven in from ground level (c 16m OD), to support uprights and thence the main sculpture. The spikes (with screw-threaded lower section) measured 1.3m in length by up to 0.115m in diameter. They were placed at each corner of a rectangle measuring c 2.47m x 0.84m in plan. Initial ground probing identified an obstruction at the proposed southeast corner, at a depth of 0.69m (c 15.3m OD). This was found in two points, as a solid edge c 0.3m east of the final foundation position and as a total obstruction c 1.85m further to the east. Examination of the probe point revealed flecks of fine pale cream stone. No obstructions were encountered at the other 3 foundation points. The obstructions noted above may well form parts of single ledger stone, laid E-W and with its western end at the first recorded point. The obstruction level is similar to that of stones exposed during previous archaeological monitoring, and is assumed to represent the burial ground surface prior to the creation of public gardens and localised raising of surfaces in 1863 (the first City churchyard to be so converted).
