Summary

See Also: 'London Archaeologist Round-up 1995': Natural sands were generally overlaid by thick Roman dumps, but to the SW was a truncated pit containing a loomweight fragment of possible Bronze Age date. To the NE a timber-lined Roman pit was revealed. A 14th-c chalk lined well was cut by cess pits containing 15th and 16th-c material. To the N, large pits were filled with organic material and surmounted by large masonry walls datable to the 14th - 16th c. These structures probably related to one of the medieval inns known to have occupied the site.
