Abstract:
An archaeological excavation was conducted on the south-west entrance causeway at the Tower of London between 19th January and 2nd March 2015. Four phases of archaeological activity were noted, the were from the late 13th century, pre-1780 post-medieval, post 1780 post-medieval and the late 19th/ 20th century. During the excavations sections of the original late 13th-century masonry of the causeway and the upper portions of the Byward Tower drawbridge pit were recorded. These date from the major phase of building works conducted at the Tower of London by Edward I between 1275 and 1285. Two small sections of wall containing re-used brick and stone provided evidence of later repair work. Evidence of the 1780 remodelling of the causeway was seen in the form of construction cuts for the Portland Stone central arch and outer walls (as seen today). Bedding deposits for the former late 19th/20th-century road were seen across the causeway.
