Abstract: |
Eight trial holes were dug in Lisson Street and Bell Street before the construction of a cable-route for a power upgrade for the London Underground. These were all archaeologically monitored. Some of these holes had been completely disturbed by modern services. Other holes revealed evidence for activity in the area from the late-17th Century. This included a cut feature containing late 17th Century pottery in pit 1, a small ditch-type feature in pit 5, and a brick wall in pit 8. A number of the other pits included 'made ground' layers, with pottery and other finds of early 18th to mid-19th Century date. Some pits also revealed evidence for the 'natural' brickearth and, in one case, sand and gravel. |
