Abstract/Summary
Three evaluation trenches excavated on the site of the Lombard Street bus station revealed substantial truncation of archaeological remains by post-medieval activity. No archaeological remains predating the 19th century were encountered. Evaluation of the car park to the south in 2008 had revealed heavily truncated medieval ditches but no trace of the Civil War ditch thought to cross the site was found. The bus station evaluation also proved to be negative. The evaluation showed that the elevated height of the bus station site, c.1m higher than the car park to the east, were due to levelling up for its construction rather than being an area which preserved undisturbed medieval remains. There was more than 1.2m of modern overburden in the centre of the site and there was no evidence for any buildings along the street frontage.
It was concluded that due to truncation of the site the archaeological potential is very low and any development of the site will not disturb significant archaeological remains.
