One of the largest excavations in the City of London at 1 Poultry
recovered a remarkable archaeological sequence from the 1st to the
20th century AD. This volume presents the evidence for Late Saxon,
medieval and post-medieval development of this part of the city.
Poultry occupied a prominent position at the eastern end of
Cheapside, the city's principal medieval market street; integrating
documentary evidence with the archaeological record has provided an
outstandingly detailed account of this area. Re-occupation of the
site in the later 10th century began with the construction of
scattered sunken-floored buildings; a more regular pattern of
settlement, characterised by narrow-fronted timber buildings along
the roadsides, developed by the early 11th century. Occupation
became progressively denser up to the 13th century when large
stone-built houses began to be built in previously open areas
behind the street frontages. Metalworking evidence from the
excavated buildings provides evidence of early economic activity,
corresponding with later documentary evidence for smiths,
ironmongers and other metalworkers in the area.
