History of London
In 43 AD a wooden bridge was built on the gravel banks of the River Thames by the invading Romans, close to the site of the later London Bridge. A small, marshland settlement of 3,000 people began the long haul into today's cosmopolitan city of 7 million that hosts around 24 million visitors a year.

agree  ArchyR: I searched for "wetland settlements" ancient in google and came up with a nice explanation in a google book "The biology of the peatlands" p. 117. Without knowing what area of the world it's used in, I think this is the best option.
