On the Boundaries of Occupation: Excavations at Burringham Road, Scunthorpe and Baldwin Avenue, Bottesford, North Lincolnshire
by Peter Boyer, Jennifer Proctor, and Robin Taylor-Wilson
Excavations at two sites in the southern suburbs of the modern industrial town of Scunthorpe, originally a rural landscape with a scatter of villages overlooking the River Trent and its tributary, Bottesford Beck. Finds of flint tools show that humans had been around throughout prehistory; by the late Iron Age the Burringham Road site probably lay at the southern limit of a settlement, and for much of the Roman period there is evidence of various ...

From Temples to Thames Street - 2000 Years of Riverside Development: Archaeological Excavations at the Salvation Army International Headquarters
by Timothy Bradley and Jonathan Butler
Substantial Roman remains were recognised in the area of Queen Victoria Street as early as 1841, by the antiquarian Charles Roach Smith who recorded 'a wall of extraordinary strength', incorporating fragments of sculpted and moulded stone and marble. A watching brief carried out in the 1960s and a series of excavations on adjacent sites had revealed two major phases of Roman monumental masonry, the latter forming part of a vast building complex ...

Reclaiming the Marsh: Archaeological Excavations at Moor House, City of London
by J. Butler
A report on fieldwork carried out in a little investigated area of London just outside the city wall. The area known as Moorfields was waterlogged throughout the Middle Ages, only being reclaimed in the 16th century. Finds include evidence of Roman settlement up to the construction of the wall in the 3rd century, and evidence of the medieval use of the area for leisure activities, including ice-skating and for dumping waste. The site was used for ...

Roman Archaeology in the Upper Reaches of the Walbrook Valley: Excavations at 6-8 Tokenhouse Yard, London EC2
by Jim Leary and Jonathan Butler
Tokenhouse Yard in the City of London lies in the upper reaches of the valley of the Walbrook. The Walbrook was undoubtedly a powerful and important topographical feature of the Roman city, rising to the north and coursing through the centre of the settlement cleaving it into two low hills, Cornhill and Ludgate Hill, before discharging into the Thames to the south. This area witnessed the build up of almost 4m of stratified deposits in the years ...

Saxons, Templars and Lawyers in the Inner Temple: Archaeological Excavations in Church Court and Hare Court
by Jonathan Butler
In 1999 and 2000, a series of small-scale excavations took place within the Inner Temple on Victoria Embankment in London. Excavations at Church Court took place ahead of the erection of a monument to celebrate the start of the third millennium of the Christian era whereas refurbishment of the adjacent Hare Court permitted further archaeological investigations to take place. This volume reports on the findings of these excavations which, though ...

Unlocking the Landscape: Archaeological Investigations at Ashford Prison, Middlesex
by Tim Carew, Barry Biship, Frank Meddens and Victoria Ridgeway
Excavations at Ashford Prison, just to the east of Staines, uncovered the intriguing story of that part of the landscape from the end of the last Ice Age. Flowing through the site was a tributory of the River Ash, itself a tributory of the Thames. It attracted the attentions of transient groups of hunter-gatherers and later a Neolithic ceremonial monument was built adjacent to it, on a slight promontory of higher land. During the Bronze Age the ...

A Roman settlement and bath house at Shadwell: Excavations at Tobacco Dock and Babe Ruth restaurant, The Highway London
by Alistair Douglas, James Gerrard and Berni Sudds
Excavations in 2002 by Pre-Construct Archaeology on two adjacent sites in Shadwell revealed an extensive late Romano-British settlement over a kilometre beyond the walls of Londinium on an escarpment overlooking the north bank of the Thames. The area's importance became apparent in the 1970s through the discovery of monumental masonry and 3rd-century settlement and burial practice. This volume presents the evidence for Roman Shadwell as ...

by David Divers, Chris Mayo, Nathalie Cohen and Chris Jarrett
This volume presents the story of 2000 years of occupation around Southwark Cathedral as demonstrated by a combination of building recording and archaeological excavation. The story begins in the first years of Roman occupation, with the construction of a road heading southwest from a crossing point of the Thames, close to modern London Bridge. The story of the foundation, construction and subsequent history of the medieval priory of St Mary ...

The Sea and the Marsh: The Medieval Cinque Port of New Romney Revealed through Archaeological Excavations and Historical Research
by Gillian Draper and Frank Meddens, with Philip Armitage, Geoff Egan, Damian Goodburn, Chris Jarrett and Ian Riddler
Today New Romney sits a couple of miles inland from the sea but, in common with many towns along this stretch of coast, was once a thriving seaport. Archaeological excavations here by Pre-Construct Archaeology identified evidence for medieval occupation, fishing and seafaring on the foreshore at the northeastern end of the town. This strand area was ravaged by storms, particularly during the 13th century and this is clearly demonstrated in the ...

Faverdale, Darlington: Excavations at a major settlement in the northern frontier zone of Roman Britain
by Jennifer Proctor
The discovery in 2004 of a Roman period settlement during archaeological investigations by Pre-Construct Archaeology was highly unexpected given the paucity of remains of this date in the Darlington area. Around the late first century AD an unenclosed farmstead was established at the site and the quantity of South Gaulish samian from this period indicates that from its earliest inception Faverdale was a settlement of some standing. A remarkable ...
