Abstract:		 Between 29th October and 2nd November 2018 Compass Archaeology undertook a watching brief on groundworks outside of 52 Lime Street 'The Scalpel', London EC3A 1AA. The work monitored a single drainage drop shaft measuring 2m x 2m x 4 - 4.5m (2.3-1.8mOD). The work had high potential to expose Roman features due to its location over the Forum, however no features of these date were exposed. A post-medieval coal cellar was recorded, with the floor at 2.8m (3.5mOD), below which was a brick inspection chamber and drain leading to the existing sewer, continuing below the floor level for a further metre. This truncated all early activity. A small quantity of Roman and post-medieval finds were recovered. Natural geology was not reached.
