Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Pre-Construct Archaeology Limited at Crossness Sewage Treatment Works (STW), Thamesmead TQ 4883 8052. The investigation comprised the excavation of three trenches, one in each area, with recording of all archaeological features revealed. The evaluation identified the presence of thick peat deposits in Areas 1 and 2. In Area 3 the remnant of a preserved prehistoric forest was revealed dating to the Late Mesolithic period and representing the earliest known example of yew dominated woodland on the south bank of the Thames. |
