Abstract:
Wessex Archaeology undertook an archaeological evaluation of a c. 0.85Ha area of land at Giffin Street in the London Borough of Lewisham, centred on NGR: 537295, 177301. The site is located within an Archaeological Priority Area (APA20) as defined in the borough's Unitary Development Plan Proposals Map of 2004. The proposed development includes the demolition of existing structures on the site and the construction of a new school building. The fieldwork comprised the machine excavation of a three evaluation trenches totalling 125m² in extent. A fourth evaluation trench was planned, but was not excavated for reasons of public health and safety. The fieldwork was undertaken between the 19th and 21st of January 2009. No archaeological features, deposits or artefacts predating the Modern period (1800 - present) were recorded from the archaeological evaluation. A single small brick structure of late nineteenth or early twentieth century date was recorded in one trench. Another trench contained a surface of re-used railway sleepers. The remainder of the deposits recorded were made-ground deposits consisting of redeposited sand and gravel mixed with assorted building rubble and other rubbish; the made-ground deposits were present across the site to a depth in excess of at 1.20m. It appears likely that 20th century development has resulted in the severe truncation of any archaeological structures or deposits which may have been present on the site.
