Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd on land at Queen Elizabeth Public House Asylum Road, Peckham, in the London Borough of Southwark. The watching brief was commissioned by Suzanne Gailey of CgMs Consulting and took place on 12th June 2007. The site is bordered by Gervase Street to the north, by residential housing to the south, by a school to the east and by Asylum Road to the west. Prior to the investigation, the study site had been reduced by 0.72m below the existing pavement level to an approximate height of 3.00m OD. The watching brief monitored the excavation of three trenches. Trench 1 was located in the southwest corner and was aligned east/west; Trench 2 was located in the southeast and was aligned north / south; Trench 3 was located to the northeast and was aligned east / west All trenches contained natural sand, sealed by very compact fine gravel, which was sealed by a thick layer of natural brickearth. The brickearth was truncated by a 19th century wall foundation [9] in Trench 3 and then sealed either by garden soil or made ground. No pre-19th century archaeological remains were encountered during the watching brief |
