Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Following previous fieldwork in 2011 to 2013, a final phase of excavation and watching briefs was undertaken at the site, located at the western end of Liverpool Street. A further three large open area trenches were investigated. Remains of the Walbrook stream itself were seen at the western edge of the site, comprising bands of alluvial clay and gravel. No human activity was present in the earliest phase of these bands, but a later sequence dated to the Roman period. A shallow series of deposits containing late Iron Age pottery and burnt flint suggests prehistoric activity on the site. Evidence was found for several phases of Roman activity between the first half of the 2nd century and the 4th century, the earliest phases took the form of water management. A c mid- 2nd century road was traced across the entire site. Roman burial activity to the south of the road included up to eight articulated individuals burials, three of which showed signs of decapitation. The post-Roman to medieval sequence was characterised by a series of marsh deposits. Reclamation of this marsh occurred between the 12th and early 15th centuries, and evidence was found of the revetment of the Walbrook stream to the west of the site. This period was also characterized by a series of large boundary/drainage ditches. Post-medieval archaeological remains also included early garden features. Further remains of the 'New Churchyard' (1569-1739) were excavated, including burials, boundary walls and burial structures. Archaeological remains associated with the developed of the site from the mid-18th century were discovered, as well as remains representing the construction of Liverpool Street (the road) (1823-24) and Broad Street Station (1864-65).
