Abstract: |
Work on new Dance Studios was monitored between during redevelopment and conversion of the site for use by the Ballet School. A total of four interventions were made, archaeological deposits and features were recorded in section in Trenches 1 and 2 only; the highest survival of archaeological deposits occurred at 6.0m OD. Brickearth was observed in the northern area of site only, at a maximum height of 5.7mOD and sloping gradually eastwards. Natural ground in the southern area of site consisted of banded sands and gravels at a maximum height of 4.3m OD. The absence of brickearth in the southern area is due to the slope towards the Thames. In summary the area investigated consisted of topsoil at 6m OD (present ground level) associated with the gardens, in some areas this overlay a levelling or drainage deposit but otherwise it was directly above natural ground. Bedding trenches and tree bowls observed under the topsoil in Trench 1 at 5.7m OD are likely to be associated with the gardens of St Margarets House to the north. The well observed in this area at 6.0m OD was also probably associated with these gardens. |
