Abstract: |
<summary>Deep basementing and piling of a previous building on the site had destroyed virtually all the archaeology on the site. A small undisturbed area revealed the remains of what was probably a tributary of the River Walbrook, which appeared to have been utilized as the moat along the eastern side of Finsbury Court during the medieval and Tudor periods. This had silted-up and then been infilled in the 16th or 17th century. Two features dating to the early 17th century may have been associated with buildings built over the infilled water channel. Environmental samples were taken. {italon}AIP{italoff}{spacea} |
