The site of 1 Poultry, excavated in the 1990s, is located near the
Bank of England in the heart of the City of London. It lay
immediately west of the point where the main east-west road through
Roman London bridged the Walbrook stream and proved to be one of
the most significant archaeological sites ever excavated in the
City, with an unparalleled sequence of buildings, roads and open
spaces. A timber drain of AD 47 beneath the main road is the
earliest, securely dated structure yet known from Londinium and a
pottery shop destroyed in the Boudican revolt gives a snapshot of
life in AD 60/61. A 2nd-century AD writing tablet preserves the
only evidence for the sale of a slave found in Britain to date,
while the 3rd- and 4th-century buildings on the site provide a rare
demonstration of the continuities and changes that occurred in
Roman urban life. The key sequence from 1 Poultry provides the
majority of the evidence but is augmented by findings from
Docklands Light Railway sites at Bucklersbury, Lothbury and Lombard
Street and other work at 72-75 Cheapside, 76-80 Cheapside, 36-37
King Street and Mansion House. Together, the sites provide a
comprehensive record of the development of Londinium over the
entire Roman period.
