Abstract: |
On the 20th and 21st June 2007 an archaeological watching brief, on behalf of RPS, was undertaken in association with a programme of geo-technical investigations. The archaeological investigations involved the observation and recording of 5 machine excavated geo-technical test pits measuring 3m by 0.6m utilising a JCB 3CX. The archaeological investigations were commissioned to assess whether former development on the site had disturbed archaeological deposits. All five test pits contained sequences comprising made ground lying over London Clay. It is thought that horizontal truncation took place prior to the deposition of made ground, removing any previously existing subsoil deposits. The horizontal truncation of deposits is thought to have occurred during development of the site during the 20th century. Of the deposits observed, none were deemed to possess any significant archaeological value. |
