Abstract: |
Sutton Archaeological Services (SAS) carried out an archaeological evaluation at The Old Palace, The Green, Richmond-upon-Thames, TW10. The site lay in an area of archaeological importance as defined in London Borough of Richmond's Unitary Plan. Research by Sutton Archaeological Services for the research design indicated that there was Medieval or Post-Medieval archaeology in the surrounding area. Six 2m square trenches were excavated across the site revealing turf, topsoil and a fill deposit over a sequence of 17th to 18th century deposits. No Medieval archaeology was found, but the remains of two Post-Medieval and one modern structures were revealed. In trench 1 was the remains of a post-war bomb shelter and several 17th to 18th century laid deposits that may have been part of the Wine Cellar Courtyard. These deposits were also found in trenches 2, 3 and 4. In trenches 3 and 4 there was also a spread of demolition rubble and two 17th to 18th century walls over the laid deposits. We recovered pottery dating from the 17th to 20th centuries, 19th century clay pipes and 17th to 18th century bricks. The natural was not reached as it was below the bottom level of the development. Our findings set out in more detail below lead us to conclude that the proposed development did not threaten or destroy any archaeological remains of national, regional or local importance, deserving further investigation or preservation. |
