Abstract: |
The archaeological investigation consisted of 3 evaluation trenches located within the footprint of the proposed development and an archaeological watching brief conducted on below ground works in the vicinity of a demolished building to the west of the former Wandle School. The investigation found evidence for natural clay, gravels and alluvial deposits across the site. Spot levels on the natural deposits indicated that a downwards slope in the natural topography, from the east to the southwest, existed on site reflecting the natural course of the River Wandle. The presence of accumulated silts relating to periods of flooding prior to the culverting of the River Wandle and the construction of Wandle School, in addition to the absence of archaeological features and artefacts, either in situ or residual, suggest that the site remained largely undeveloped prior to the 19th century. |
