Wessex Archaeology worked for Frogmore Developments Ltd on the archaeological excavation at 60 & 63 Fenchurch Street in the City of London EC3. The site has been redeveloped to provide a prestigious new office building, which can be viewed at http://www.vitro-city.co.uk/

The excavation was completed in August 2002 and removed all archaeological remains on the site prior to erection of the new building.
