Abstract: |
The watching brief was undertaken intermittently between the 3rd August and 1st October 2010. The works consisted of monitoring the excavation of a trench for sheet metal piles encircling the site as well as ground reduction of the basement to a depth of approximately 6m below ground surface. The results of the investigations suggest that widespread demolition and landscaping of the site had occurred with 19th to 20th century made ground seen to overlie natural clay deposits. This made ground was seen to be overlain by the now-demolished early 20th century warehouse building foundations or a modern concrete slab. No archaeological features pre-dating the 20th century were observed. |
