Abstract: |
Between November 2015 and June 2016 an archaeological evaluation was conducted at Aldgate, London, E1, as part of the Aldgate Highway Changes and Public Realms Project (ACHPRP). The works comprised three evaluation trenches located along the line of proposed tree planting trenches in the southern and western parts of the site. The work uncovered features consistent with post-medieval development of Duke's Place in three distinct phases: expansion after the demolition of the city wall; redevelopment and widening of the eastern frontage of Duke's Place; post-war building and subsequent demolition prior to the installation of the gyratory system. Earlier medieval and Roman deposits were not encountered, and natural geology was not observed. |
