Abstract: |
Between the 18th January and 19th February 2019 Compass Archaeological undertook an archaeological watching brief at the western end of Paternoster Row, City of London EC4M 8AD. The work was commissioned by the City of London Department of the Built Environment due to the site's location within an Archaeological Priority Area and close proximity to the Grade I Listed Cathedral Church of St Paul. The watching brief monitored the completion of a single L-shaped trench, excavated to accommodate the installation of a series of new security bollards. The works exposed several phases of activity dating from the 11th to 17th century, including a medieval 'yard' surface, pre-17th century tenement building, two undated inhumations and a quantity of charnel material. The significant archaeological features were encountered between depths of 1.06m and 1.70m (14.70 - 14.06mOD). Natural geology was not reached. |
