Abstract:		 Archaeology South-East was commissioned by CgMs Consulting Ltd. on behalf of their client to undertake an archaeological evaluation at the Former Moorfields School, Bunhill Row, London, EC1. Five trenches were excavated across the site. Natural terrace gravels were recorded between 14.30m OD (Trench 3) and 15.78m OD (Trench 4), with a thin capping of brickearth surviving to 15.77m OD in Trench 2. The earliest activity identified on the site dates to the late 15th-16th centuries and includes a series of large quarry pits, backfilled with domestic refuse and sealed by dump deposits indicating efforts to reclaim the site from Moorfields Marsh. 17th century activity includes further pitting and the importation of thick deposits of soil which attest to large-scale efforts to reclaim the site. Little activity of 18th century date was identified though a series of 19th century concrete and brick foundations and backfilled basements attests to the built-up nature of the site by this time.
