Abstract: |
Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd was commissioned by Thames Water Utilities Ltd to carry out an archaeological watching brief on groundworks for a pumping station and six pipelines for Stratford Box Dewatering Scheme. In addition a number of test pits were excavated for the purpose of re-lining existing pipes. Made-ground deposits of 19th and 20th century date were found in the majority of the pipeline trenches and test pits and within the foundation trench for the Pumping Station. These overlay alluvial clay. In several places layers of gravel and sand, interpreted as former gravel paths, overlay the alluvial clay and were covered by made ground. One test pit exposed a buried soil with no evidence of human activity at 1.7m below ground level. Within the foundation trench for the Pumping Station alluvial clay overlay natural sands and gravels. No deposits or features of archaeological significance were observed during the watching brief. |
