Research and responses: Pitt Rivers excavated part of the London Wall in October - December 1866 at the site of a foundation of a new wool warehouse, the site was 70 x 200 feet. He found fragments of pottery, metal and leatherwork, Roman coins, animal bones (identified by Richard Owen), AW Franks identified the Roman Samian ware [Chapman, 1981: 249-50] [see Bowden, 1991] , this may have been collected then.
