Abstract: |
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 02/610230 was deemed to need further archaeological investigation.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 and services were encountered between 0.3 and 0.5m below ground level. The trail pits showed that services and modern dumped deposits went along the whole footprint of the docking station and because excavations for the docking station would not go below the services further archaeological monitoring of the groundworks were deemed unnecessary. |
