Abstract: |
On the 14th of August 2019 Compass Archaeology undertook an archaeological watching brief during Highway Enhancement Works at St Paul's Cathedral, 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 the historic Cathedral complex and its proximity to the pre-1666 Church and Churchyard of St Gregory by St Paul's. The site is located within the City of London Tier 1 Archaeological Priority Area and lies adjacent to four Listed Buildings. The watching brief monitored the completion of four pits measuring 0.4 x 0.4 x 0.35m, situated at the Queen's Entrance, to the south-west of the Cathedral complex, ahead of installation of new City of London security bollards. No features of archaeological interest were observed in any of the groundworks, and there were no finds or features consistent with the earlier occupation of the area. Natural geology was not observed. |
