ABSTRACT
Roman wall. The presumptive evidence that the two would have coincided is sufficiently strong to rule out the Carter Lane fragment (also shown on Fig. 11) , which has been claimed as part of an alternative line for the city wall running in a south-easterly direction to Upper Thames Street from just south of Ludgate. This wall, which was found a few years before 1 912, was also not accurately recorded apart from the statement that a parish boundary for a short distance agreed with it.1 It would seem likely that it could only be regarded as part of Roman London’s defences if there had been some drastic re-planning of the city on this side.
