Monitoring took place on the site in October 2003. Trial-trenching had already indicated that there was no surviving archaeological stratigraphy and this was borne out by monitoring. Three human bones were found, but these were unstratified within the cellar debris. They comprised damaged portions of two right tibiae and a right humerus and represented at least two adults, according to the osteoarchaeologist’s report. The site was in the area of St Thomas’s Abbey, close to sites along Hanbury Lane in which skeletal remains were found, and it is likely that the remains indicate that the site was used for burial in the medieval period. The site was developed for housing by the early 18th century, according to Brooking’s map.
