Abstract:		 Between the 20th February and the 27th March 2017, Compass Archaeology conducted an Archaeological Watching Brief on the site of Postman's Park, City of London, EC1A during groundworks to lay new water ducting and standpipes. Two trees were removed and one tree pit was excavated for a replacement. The programme of archaeological works entailed the monitoring and recording of a series of narrow (0.30m), shallow (0.50m deep) trenches, 135m long in total, and the excavation of one tree pit, 1.80m X 1m X 0.95m. The stratigraphy was generally similar across the site, comprising 0.30-0.60m of imported, dark brown topsoil with varying amounts of CBM, pot and bone inclusions. This was dated to the mid-late 19th century. There was evidence of a buried surface in the tree pit, made of an orange gravel above made ground, no dating possible. No features of archaeological interest, such as evidence of the Roman wall or the post-medieval churchyard were recovered. The lowest level recorded was 15.91m OD at the bottom of the tree pit.
