This is the basement of a Victorian building. It was demolished and the cellar was filled in. We dug out the cellar using a machine and then we dug our trench through the concrete basement floor.
Roman finds
3 disc-mouthed flagons were recovered from a ditch, identified as products of the Roman Little and Much Hadham kilns of north-east Hertfordshire and dated to the 3rd and 4th century. These were almost definitely deposited ritually, although no grave was located nearby and are unique within the finds known from within the area of the East London Cemetery.
Medieval finds
A Late Medieval vamp and one-piece sole from an adult-sized shoe was recovered from context [104], the primary fill of a large medieval/post medieval pit.
