Abstract: |
A watching brief was conducted in association with geotechnical test pits in the area formally occupied by Canada Docks. The monitoring revealed an alluvial sequence of natural gravel, clay and peat overlain by the backfilling of the docks in the 20th century. The dock structures themselves were revealed to be intact, along with associated dockside features. Whilst the alluvial sequence is closely comparable to others in the immediate vicinity which have already been closely studied, and is therefore thought to be deserving of no further work, the presence of remains associated with the docks would justify further monitoring as groundworks proceed. |
