Abstract: |
An archaeological excavation was undertaken by Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd at The Jacobean Barn, Hall Place, Bourne Rd, London Borough of Bexley. The site lies in a Registered Park and Garden as defined by English Heritage. The Jacobean Barn itself is a Grade II listed structure and therefore an archaeological planning condition was attached to the planning consent for an extension. The archaeological condition consisted of an open area investigation within the footprint of the proposed extension to the barn. The earliest deposit encountered during the excavation was an alluvial deposit. This was overlain by layers of undated redeposited gravel and crushed building materials. The oldest feature recorded on the site was a compacted chalk surface of 17th/18th century date. This was in turn cut by the construction cut for a 19th century north-south aligned wall which ran across the site, abutting the southern wall of The Jacobean Barn. Subsequent to the main excavation a watching brief was carried out on a small area located to the south of the barn's Victorian extension. The below ground work was extremely limited and excavation did not continue beyond a depth of 0.40m. The stratigraphic sequence revealed modern levelling deposits associated with the existing concrete surface. |
