Monument record TR 15 NW 2248 - Medieval City Wall Tower 22, Westgate Gardens
Summary
The plinth of a Medieval wall tower was found SW of the London Gate and south of the angle in the city wall. Only half of its plan could be recovered because of tree-roots, but it seemed to be horse shoe shaped and similar in construction to towers 6 and 7 with a massively-built battered base and with a chalk and flint rubble core which was faced at the front with ashlar.
