Abstract: |
A programme of Observation and Recording was carried out by Gill King on behalf of Compass Archaeology Ltd. The fieldwork took place during groundworks on land to the rear of No. 12-26 Crayford High Street, Crayford, London Borough of Bexley between 26th March and 3rd June 2008. The archaeological fieldwork was carried out as a condition of planning consent, prior to redevelopment of the site for residential properties. No significant archaeological finds, features or deposits were encountered during the course of the archaeological fieldwork. Deposits largely represent made ground and demolition material related to the 20th century use of the site. A number of older probable 19th century wall bases were revealed in several test pits, but these are again deemed of low significance and represent either earlier former wall foundations or cellars. Where pottery samples could be taken, these all fell within a date range of the earlier 19th century to 20th century. Natural orange-brown alluvial silt sequences were observed at a relatively shallow depth (0.4m below the present ground surface in some cases) beneath the made ground and brickwork. In some of the deeper and more central test pits, River Terrace gravels could be seen mixed with riverlain silts. |
