Abstract:		 Between February 2010 and April 2012 archaeological monitoring took place during groundworks associated with the Victorian Mains Replacement programme in Clerkenwell, London Borough of Islington, EC1. The works covered a roughly triangular area bounded by Roseberry Avenue and Elm Street to the west, Clerkenwell Road to the south, and Farringdon Road to the east. In situ archaeology was limited to a section of wall, probably relating to the Clerkenwell House of Correction, on the NW side of Roseberry Avenue opposite the Mount Pleasant Post Office, and a large well/cistern opposite No.6 Topsham Street. Several 19th century coal cellars were also observed in trenching on Farringdon Street. From observations made across the study area it is clear that the immediate locale has been subject to substantial ground raising in the relatively recent past by at least 1.5m in places. This is probably related to the post medieval development of the area from the mid 1600s onwards, and the mid-19th century remodelling of the road network, especially around the major thoroughfares of Mount Pleasant, Clerkenwell Road and Farringdon Road.
