Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken during water mains replacement works in the park adjacent to Ashmount Road in the London Borough of Haringey, between August and September 2011. Archaeological monitoring was undertaken during contractors groundworks and consisted of the inspection and recording of all open works accessible during monitoring visits. The majority of trenches exposed typical sequences of modern topsoil / made ground and service backfill deposits, overlying a truncated subsoil containing fragments of post-medieval pottery (possibly 19th Century). A dump of clay, presumably dumped when Ashmount Road and the associated houses were constructed in the late 19th Century, was also observed in one pit. The 'natural' deposits (a yellow-brown clay) was observed in most of the pits and trenches. No significant archaeological features were discovered. |
