Abstract: |
Pre-Construct Archaeology Limited carried out an archaeological evaluation at St Andrew's Hospital, Bromley-by-Bow, in advance of a new housing development. Seven trenches were excavated outside the footprint of the St Andrew's Hospital building. The trenches located towards the north eastern corner of the site revealed the natural Taplow Terrace gravels of the River Thames, whereas those located towards the south and west of the site exposed ground that had been heavily disturbed by construction activity undertaken in the 19th century for the Poplar and Stepney Sick Asylum. One trench contained the corner of what is believed to be a medieval land boundary ditch, with pottery dating to c. AD 1200 - 1350. The remainder of the feature and deposits encountered related to the construction of the nineteenth century asylum buildings. Despite the fact the land within the site of the old hospital building had in many places been heavily truncated, evidence for medieval activity was observed in the far north eastern corner of the site. |
