Abstract: |
A retrospective archaeological evaluation took palce at Ridges Yard, Waddon New Road, London Borough of Croydon between 21st-25th April 2008. The evaluation consisted of two trial trenches, designed to investigate the sites' archaeological potential and to mitigate for any potential loss of archaeology following the premature start of ground works on the site. The depth of the natural layers, along with the frequent inclusion of gravel in overlying layers, the cut feature located in Trench 1 and the results of the geotechnical survey seem to indicate that this area has seen extensive gravel extraction activity, most likely carried out in the 19th-early 20th century; concurring with other archaeological investigations undertaken locally. It is likely that any archaeological deposits or structures that may have once existed at this location have been subsequently removed by this post-medieval gravel extraction activity. |
