Abstract: |
archaeological watching brief undertaken by Pre-Construct Archaeology Limited (PCA) during the works to replace gas mains at Cannon Street, City of London. The watching brief comprised the monitoring and recording of ten trenches and two test pits excavated by the contractor. The trenches were located at three different road junctions; trenches 1-3 and 5 were centred upon the junction of Queen Street and Cannon Street whilst Trenches 4, and 6 - 8 were centred upon the Walbrook and Dowgate Hill junction. Trench 9 was located at the junction of Nicolas Lane and Martin Lane whilst Trench 10 was located at the southern end of Salters' Hall Court with Cannon Street. The excavations were made in pre-existing service trenches, therefore they only revealed modern made ground and previous backfill. No archaeological deposits or horizons were uncovered during the operations. The excavations were too shallow to expose the underlying geological deposits. |
