Abstract:		 Twelve test holes, the majority no deeper than 0.3m, were excavated to investigate the locations for new security bollards. The work augmented the results of an earlier phase of trial pits, undertaken in November 2017. The site area includes two Scheduled Ancient Monuments: SAM 13201 Roman Amphitheatre, Guildhall Yard and SAM LO 26 X London Wall: remains of Roman fort wall and east gate under Aldermanbury. Four of the trial trenches were located within one of these Scheduled Ancient Monuments: SAM 13201 which corresponds to the Roman Amphitheatre. The majority of the trenches revealed concrete slabs or modern made ground beneath the existing paving slabs, with two exceptions. In Pit 2A adjoining the south-west corner of St Lawrence Jewry church, soft deposits were exposed in the base of the pit. Although most likely a post medieval fill or dumped make-up deposit, it could also represent archaeological deposits that had been disturbed and redeposited. The other pit where anything other than modern concrete slabs or foundations were exposed, was in the deeper Pit 1B on the north side of the existing security bollards at the south entranceway into Guildhall Yard. All the excavated deposits from the trench consisted of bulk backfill, incorporating archaeological material that had been disturbed and redeposited. It is clear that this material constitutes the bulk backfilling of the construction cut for a deep level (N-S) 19th century sewer heading, recorded in the adjoining (GUD99) excavation trench. This pit was subsequently subsumed within the area of the (GUY17) excavation trench in December 2018, following the removal of the existing deep level security bollards.
