Abstract: |
During February 2008, Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd. carried out an archaeological evaluation on a former school sports field at Stonegrove and Spur Road Estates, Edgware, London Borough of Barnet. Eleven trial trenches were excavated at locations across the site. In all trenches the earliest deposit was a layer of natural clay. In eight of the trenches this had been partly truncated by an extensive depression, which appears to have occupied most of the site. This had initially silted up naturally, but was subsequently backfilled with domestic rubbish and demolition rubble during the 19th and 20th centuries. In the other three trenches the natural clay was overlain by recent rubble and modern materials used to level the ground surface for the school sports field. Apart from the large depression and a very modern posthole, towards the northeast corner of the site, no other archaeological features were present. Finds recovered were mostly contemporary with the 19th and 20th century rubbish and rubble deposition, though occasional artefacts of an earlier date were also recovered. |
