Abstract: |
In August 2011 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation at the site of the Holiday Inn Express Hotel, Colliers Wood, Merton, London (NGR TQ 26735 70315). The evaluation was commissioned by Willmott Dixon Interiors Ltd on behalf of Holiday Inn Hotels and was carried out as a condition of planning consent. It is proposed to construct a three-storey extension to the front of the existing hotel building, a new hotel entrance and undertake internal alterations. The site is located within an Archaeological Priority Area along the route of a Roman road. Numerous prehistoric, Roman, medieval and post-medieval remains have been found in the vicinity. Colliers Wood High Street follows the course of the Roman Road Stane Street which would also have been used by medieval kings travelling with their court (MLO 71558). Evidence for medieval occupation has been found in the vicinity and in prehistoric times the area was marshy with palaeochannels running through it (MLO 71559). In the event the evaluation revealed an early modern/modern wall foundation, and two layers of alluvium. |
