Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by AOC Archaeology Group between 15th and 17th August 2006 at 22 Marsh Wall, Isle of Dogs, London Borough of Tower Hamlets . The aim of the evaluation was to assess the impact of the proposed development on any surviving archaeological remains. The evaluation comprised the excavation of three machine excavated trenches . Natural Shepperton gravels were identified at between minus 0.36mOD and minus 0.50mOD. Sealing the gravels in Trenches 1 and 2 was a layer of naturally silted yellow sand and clay. In Trench 3 the gravels were sealed by a layer of naturally silted blue/grey silty clay contaminated with hydrocarbons. A similar deposit was observed in Trenches 1 and 2 sealing the yellow sand and clay layer although this appeared to be redeposited rather than naturally silted. Deposits of 20th century made ground sealed these deposits. Overlying these was a bedding layer of crushed hardcore sealed by the present concrete slab. No archaeological remains or residual finds were identified in any of the trenches. Trenches were examined for palaeoenvironmental potential. However, no peat deposits were observed and the naturally silted alluvial deposits were contaminated with hydrocarbons. |
