Abstract: |
The site is located within an Archaeological Priority Area as defined by the Unitary Development Plan for the borough and in addition the Greater London Sites and Monument Record indicates that the school is on the site of a medieval hall called Friary Hall. The watching brief consisted in the excavation of 22 underpinning trenches, the basement trench for the dining room extension and the service trench for the diversion of gas and water services. The excavation of these trenches produced a sequence of natural deposit sealed by a plough soil layer that failed to produce any dating material. The plough soil pre date the construction of the dining room building and that of the drainage system of brick drain observed across underpinning trench 5 and the basement trench and sealed the sequence of natural deposits of brickearth and clay. A sequence of late post medieval and modern dump deposit for the construction of the bank sloping from the eastern dinner room wall downward to the edge of the road to the east was also recorded. |
