Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring undertaken during the Thames Water mains water replacement programme around Stockwell Street and King William Walk, London Borough of Greenwich, recorded existing road surfaces and modern hardcore/concrete bedding overlying mixed road make-up levels and levelling dumps intercut by modern services and related deposits. No 'natural' deposits were observed. The construction cut for, and the arched concrete roof of, the underground tunnel connecting the mainline rail branch between Greenwich and Maze Hill was uncovered in the trench along King William Walk. A possible linear feature was observed in the far southern end of trenching on Stockwell Street, deposits differing distinctly in the east and west sections, but these could not be closely dated or fully investigated due to the spatial limitations of the groundwork. At the extreme Northern end of the Stockwell Street trench a sealed deposit produced several pot sherds of 15th - late 16th century date, and fragments of roof tile which suggest that this may have formed make-up for some sort of path or road surface. No other archaeologically significant deposits or features were observed, this particularly relates to the remains of any Roman, Saxon or Medieval finds. |
