| Abstract: |
This report describes a small excavation undertaken in advance of landscaping on the south side of the Close, adjacent to the High Level Bridge, and bounded on the west by a lane formerly known as Javel Group. Despite significant disturbance from cellaring associated with the post-medieval Cannon Inn, the remains of presumed medieval wharfage structures was revealed, extending southward over the river foreshore and dating to the late twelfth–thirteenth centuries. A small quantity of residual Roman material recovered from probable reclamation deposits is suggested to derive from medieval terracing into the bank on the north side of the Close. |
