Abstract: |
<summary>An excavation was carried out after the demolition of Imperial House, part of the Island Site, Finsbury Pavement redevelopment. The site was located in an Archaeological Priority Area and deposits from the "Moorfields Marsh" were expected to be revealed. The site was found to be severely truncated and dumps of material originally thought to have been from the marshes were identified as part of the reclamation of Moorfields in the 16th century. Although no definitive Roman features and few dated to the Medieval period were found, the residual pottery suggested that such features did at one time exist. {italon}AIP{italoff}{spacea}{italon}SMR Primary Record Numbers:{italoff} GLSMR082948, 082949 |
