Abstract: |
An evaluation at 43-61 Prescot Street provided evidence for three phases of activity on the site; Roman, medieval and post-medieval. Modern cellaring or quarrying did not appear to have truncated much of the deposits. The Roman activity seemed to focus on the 2nd and possibly 3rd centuries. No direct evidence for a Roman cemetery was found, despite sites to the north and east producing plentiful evidence. Pit digging occurred on the site in medieval times, and the post-medieval period was characterised by dumps of material across the site, possibly representing clearance from the City of London following the fire of 1666. A robbed wall footing and drains were of 18th century date. [Au(abr)] |
