Abstract: |
A watching brief conducted between the 18th July and 5th August 2016 on two drop shafts located to the northern end of Middlesex Street E1. A series of post-medieval walls were recorded, taken to be from two separate phases of construction. The evidence can be used to chart to the street frontage progression along the road formerly known as Windsor Street (now part of Middlesex Street). Additionally, some evidence of Roman quarry pitting was encountered cutting into brickearth. Both post-medieval and Roman finds were recovered. Natural brickearth was observed in drop shafts 1 and 2 at 11.31mOD and11.10mOD respectively. |
