Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief undertaken at St Alphage Garden, The Salter's Hall, 4 Fore Street, London, EC2Y 5DE (TQ 32448 81623). The extent of excavation undertaken demonstrated that the areas under investigation, especially those close in proximity to the Salter's Hall, had previously been disturbed, likely during the construction of the Salter's Hall and earlier garden landscaping. Extensive bomb damage to the site and 19th century cellars would also have truncated underlying archaeological remains. The watching brief demonstrated that a modern silty clay layer used as a ground levelling for paving was exposed near the London Wall in the south-east area of the site. Across the north of the site, three further layers were recorded. An undated grey gravel layer was sealed by modern topsoil to the south and yellow gravel to the north. |
