Group Description
-
- Linear ditch cut [1350]=[1701]=[314] was dug into an underlying ditch [316] (sub-group 629), that followed a similar alignment. Whilst [314] was possibly a re-cut of ditch cut [316] the datable finds from these contexts demonstrated that there was a significant time difference between the two features, with [316] containing Roman material that contrasted with the Post Medieval finds in the fills of [314]. The fill of the underlying ditch was (315), a moderately compacted green-grey silty clay. It contained inclusions of ashlar blocks, one of Reigate stone and three of Kentish Ragstone, which were common building materials in Roman period London and associated sandy grey mortar. Cut [316] was dug into (325), the fill of Roman grave cut [326]. Ditch cut [1350]=[1701]=[314] was also dug into (338), the fill of cut [337] (sub-group 630), which formed an East-West orientated roughly rectangular shape, it's fill was a firmly compacted dark orange brown silty clay that contained no recorded inclusions other than one nail. Cut [337] was dug into (336), the fill of Roman grave cut [335].

- No datable finds were recovered from sub-group 630, but given its stratigraphic position, it is seen as Roman. The finds from sub-group 629 demonstrate that it was a Roman feature.
