Abstract: |
During June 2003 Hertfordshire Archaeological Trust (now Archaeological Solutions) carried out an archaeological evaluation at 67 to 77 Marlborough Grove, London, SE1 (centred on NGR TQ 3422 7825), in advance of proposed redevelopment of the site. The site currently comprises the vacant Marlborough Arms Public House and garden/car park, and a vacant light industrial unit to the south. The open areas consisted of dense vegetation, with evidence of fly-tipping, dumped vehicles and extensive vandalism of the vacant buildings. The evaluation revealed no archaeological features, though deep alluvial deposits of the former prehistoric marshland of this area were uncovered below substantial recent overburden in the northern part of the site. These included peat deposits up to 1.6m thick, extending to the level of the underlying gravels at -2.11m AOD. No archaeological finds were made in association with the peat deposits. A programme of palaeoenvironmental sampling was undertaken on the site. A second trial trench was required in the southern part of the site, which was inaccessible due to the presence of a standing print works building during the June 2003 evaluation. This final trench was excavated by AS in February 2004, following demolition of the building. The trench revealed the peat and alluvium deposits to thin out on the rising gravels to the south of the site, though the same sequence was revealed. The underlying gravels in the southern part of the site rise to -1.27m AOD. No archaeological features or finds were present. |
