361 Tower of London, E. of White Tower, 1956-7
During work on the plinth of the White Tower, part of a Roman
building was discovered and excavated by the Ministry of Works.
The walls were of ragstone, and several rooms were found between
the E. side of the White Tower and the Roman city wall. One
of these had a floor of red tesserae, the others being mainly of
cement. The relationship of the building to the city wall remains
doubtful, since all the layers between the two had been
destroyed by later foundations.
