The proposed development for the vacant site south of the Mansion House comprises a five-storey over basement office building. Excavation for the development necessitated ground reduction of 3m from present ground level. Two trenches were opened by mechanical excavator, one extending north-south at the west end of the site, the second east-west.
Two post-medieval, yellow brick, stone-capped drains, which appeared to be built on yellow, natural clay and extended east-west, were found in both trenches. One of the drains appeared to have been constructed on top of three sheets of timber 0.06m thick laid side by side. There were no other associated finds or features.
