Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was commissioned by Thames Water Utilities to oversee work on the Purley Way Playing Fields section of the Surrey Street Well Replacement scheme, London Borough of Croydon. The site is in an archaeological priority area, and in particular it was thought that evidence of a trackway that could be seen on historic maps of the area could be found during the works. The initial topsoil strip was very shallow (<150mm) and revealed mostly modern material, though it did yield some worked flint indicating later prehistoric activity in the area. The deeper pipe trench revealed no finds, but did provide evidence of the trackway. This was at a fairly shallow level, up to 7m wide and was made up of moderately compact chalk rubble and gravel. |
