London Wall is a section of the Roman defensive fortification that encircled the city of Londinium, constructed in the late second century AD and subsequently modified throughout the Roman period and beyond. The remains at Crutched Friars comprise substantial masonry of the original Roman wall together with a bastion, demonstrating the characteristic construction techniques and defensive architecture employed by Roman military engineers in Britain. The site preserves evidence of the wall's original flint and ragstone composition bonded with mortar, along with the projecting bastion that would have provided enhanced defensive capabilities. This section of London Wall represents a crucial element of the Roman urban infrastructure and remains one of the most significant surviving examples of Roman military architecture in Britain.
