Abstract: |
A watching brief was conducted in the Inmost Ward of the Tower of London to monitor groundworks necessitated by the construction of new Ravens' Cages and associated drainage. The watching brief recorded walls and floor surfaces associated with the Main Guard building of 1898-1900 and a possible medieval chalk and mortar surface (Trench 12B) related to the Main Guard Wall. The trenches which these archaeological surfaces were exposed were all located along the southern edge of the site, at the base of the grassed slope descending from the White Tower. All archaeological horizons were recorded and left in situ. |
