Monument record TR 15 NW 2041 - Roman London Gate, Westgate Gardens
Summary
The London Gate was found during the excavation and became the focus for investigation. The city wall had been badly robbed at this point, but a drain which ran through the wall just north of the gate was well preserved. Several road-surfaces were uncovered, contemporary with and earlier than the gateway.
