Abstract: |
A watching brief took place between 11th and the 13th of January 2012 on the eastern pavement on the junction of Dover Road and Cleanthus Road, Shooters Hill, the London Borough of Greenwich. The work entailed excavating a trial pit over the existing cast iron water main to ascertain its condition. The pit measured 1.2m long by 0.6m wide and was hand excavated up to a depth of 1.45m. It's location, directly over the existing trunk main, meant that the underlying stratigraphy had been severely disturbed in the relatively recent past, and no in situ deposits of archaeologically significance were observed. In situ natural, orange, gravel deposits were observed from 0.95m below the current ground level, overlain by existing pipe trench back-fill and redeposited natural. Two residual sherds of romano-british pottery, dated to AD43-150, were recovered from the basal gravels. |
