Transport for London (TfL) has been tasked with implementing the Cycle Hire Scheme within central London by summer 2010. Approximately 10, 200 docking points at around 400 sites at a density of approximately nine sites per square kilometre are required. An Archaeological Impact Assessments was carried out, for sites where it was deemed necessary, to identify if further archaeological investigation would be required. A generic Written Scheme of Investigation was written for all sites requiring further archaeological investigation. Docking station 08/610808 was deemed to need further archaeological investigation. This investigation consisted of an archaeological watching brief during all goundworks for the docking station. No archaeological features were observed, natural geology was not reached.

Transport for London (TfL) has been tasked with implementing the Cycle Hire Scheme within central London by May 2010. Approximately 10, 200 docking points at around 400 sites at a density of approximately nine sites per square kilometre are required. For sites it was deemed necessary Archaeological Impact Assessments have been completed to identify which sites would require further archaeological investigation. A generic Written Scheme of Investigation was written for all sites requiring further archaeological investigation. Docking station 02/610229 was deemed to need further archaeological investigation. This investigation consisted of an archaeological watching brief during the goundworks for the docking station. Initially 3 trail pits were excavated along the length of the docking station footprint. No archaeological features were observed within these trial pits. The trail pits showed that mad ground went to the maximum depth of the docking station foundations and went along the whole footprint of the docking station so further archaeological monitoring of the groundworks was not deemed necessary.

A generic Written Scheme of Investigation was written for all sites requiring further archaeological investigation. As a result of a planning condition docking station 00/610009 was deemed to need further archaeological investigation. This investigation consisted of an archaeological watching brief during all goundworks for the docking station. No archaeological features were observed, natural geology was not reached.

This investigation consisted of an archaeological watching brief during the goundworks for the docking station. Initially 2 trail pits were excavated along the length of the docking station footprint. No archaeological features were observed within these trial pits. The trail pits showed that made ground, associated with the construction of the road, went to the maximum depth of the docking station foundations. The road ran the whole footprint of the docking station so further archaeological monitoring of the groundworks was not deemed necessary.

Docking station 01/615148 was deemed to need further archaeological investigation.This investigation consisted of an archaeological watching brief during all goundworks for the docking station. No archaeological features were observed, natural geology was not reached. Excavation did not exceed 0.15m below ground level due to the presence of a modern underground car park.

This investigation consisted of an archaeological watching brief during the goundworks for the docking station. Initially 1 trail pits were excavated along the length of the docking station footprint. No archaeological features were observed within these trial pits. The trail pit showed that made ground, associated with the construction of the road, went to the maximum depth of the docking station foundations. The entire length of the foundation trench was also located on a site of a former service trench therefore further archaeological monitoring of the groundworks was not deemed necessary.

This investigation consisted of an archaeological watching brief during all goundworks for the docking station. No archaeological features were observed, natural geology was not reached. 19th Century dumped deposits containing 40% ceramic building material and 2% shell were present beneath the road foundations down to formation level.

This investigation consisted of an archaeological watching brief during the goundworks for the docking station. Initially 2 trail pits were excavated along the length of the docking station footprint. Trial pit one contained a 1.75m stretch of modern cobbled road surface and modern made ground. The road surface was not observed in trial pit 2. The Greater London Archaeological Advisor, David Divers, visited site and stated that the remains were modern and that rest of the trench could be excavated unmonitored.

This investigation consisted of an archaeological watching brief during goundworks for the docking station. Initially 3 trail pits were excavated along the length of the docking station footprint. All 3 trial pits came down onto cellars between 0.4m and 0.5m below ground level. Natural geology was not reached. Due to health and safety reasons no further watching brief was carried. The cellars were associated with the adjacent buildings and currently in use.
