Description

{2} Geophysical surveys were undertaken in the gardens of St Lawrence Court. The results of the resistivity survey are summarised in the notes and suggest that most of the features relate to Victorian developments and sewer lines. The GPR survey results may suggest that there were possible medieval ground surfaces including evidence of the cemetery boundary suggesting that the burials on Temple Bar lay just to the south of the medieval boundary wall to the north.
