Abstract:
Pre-Construct Archaeology was commissioned by Historic Royal Palaces to undertake built heritage recording of a 16.5m stretch of the South Moat Wall at HM Tower of London, London Borough of Tower Hamlets. The Tower of London is a Scheduled Monument, a World Heritage Site and lies in a Conservation Area. The South Moat Wall is Listed Grade II*. The recording was carried out as a condition of Scheduled Monument Consent for the rebuilding of this section of wall from March to May 2014. The earliest part of the wall that was recorded was the inner rubble core and the upper part of the inner core which was characterised by large blocks of tooled Reigate stone. These parts of the wall are thought to have been rebuilt in 1632 and reworked in the late 17th or early 18th century. Three brick flues had been inserted into the inner core of the wall in the early 19th century in connection with a Small Arms Manufactory. The outer north face of the South Moat Wall had been re-pointed in 19th/20th century Portland cement. Much of the lower part of the wall had been rebuilt in 19th century red brick. The stone part of the wall was mainly built of Kentish Ragstone. Although the wall may have been rebuilt in the 17th century it had many later repairs. A number of medieval worked stone pieces were found within the South Moat Wall.
