| Abstract: |
An archaeological desk-based assessment was undertaken prior to the proposed conversion of the buildings at the site into Marriott Executive Apartments. No evidence of prehistoric activity had been recorded in the immediate vicinity of the former brewery site. The site was of archaeological interest as it lay within the Roman/medieval Moorfields Marsh. Previous excavations in the vicinity had revealed pits created by Roman brickearth quarrying, and medieval and post-medieval brickearth and gravel extraction. Post-medieval site levelling and rubbish dumping, particularly industrial waste, including leather, animal bone and horn/antler had also been noted, usually as fill in these pits. Organic material and environmental data could have been preserved due to the waterlogged anaerobic ground conditions at the site, and could survive to some depth, when not truncated by basements and medieval gravel extraction.
