Abstract:		 Between February 2016 and February 2017 Compass Archaeology conducted an Archaeological Watching Brief on Thames Water Victorian water main replacement works in the area of Hatton Garden. The archaeological monitoring involved the recording of 14 trenches/pits in total. The stratigraphy across the site was mainly characterised by road surface and concrete bedding overlying made ground and service backfill, with the most significant archaeological remains being post-medieval walls. The walls [103] and [104] were encountered at a shallow level, 300mm below ground level at the southern end of the trench and 400mm at the northern end. Wall [905] was first encountered somewhat deeper at 790mm below ground level, although it was likely truncated by modern services, as was [906] at 600mm below ground level. Wall [1402] was also discovered at a relatively shallow depth of 400mm below ground level. The trenches/pits were excavated to a maximum of c.1.7m. Walls [103] and [104] were observed in a trench towards the northern end of Saffron Hill. It is theorised that these walls may have been associated with the tenements that existed on the eastern side of Saffron Hill in the late 19th century which were destroyed during the Second World War. Post-medieval walls [905] and [906] were recorded in trench 9 which was located towards the south end of Leather Lane. Wall [1402] is roughly aligned with the western extent of 19th century offices and warehouses which existed at that time on what is now New Fetter Lane. Natural deposits were not encountered.
