Speaking of the latest discovery, Sir Lindsay Hoyle, Speaker of the House of Commons, said: 'The Palace of Westminster is a treasure trove of history, and making sure this is properly conserved whilst also getting on with the vital job of restoring this unique place is a key priority.'
After the discovery of the remains, drilling was paused and the structure was assessed by archaeologists from the Museum of London Archaeology .
"The first few meters of the borehole sequence was as expected, post medieval dump deposits, which are quite soft, but then around 3.5 metres we came across much harder material, including Kentish ragstone, mixed with a sandy mortar." Earlier this year, a report by the authority suggested the project could cost up to £22bn and take up to 76 years in order to revive the Palace of Westminster to its full glory.
