Abstract: |
An excavation was undertaken by Wessex Archaeology following an evaluation carried out earlier in 2006 by Pre-Construct Archaeology. The evaluation had indicated the possible presence of a palaeochannel, suggested to be part of the east arm of the River Hogsmill. The main purpose of the excavation was to examine and record the palaeochannel and to obtain appropriate samples. The excavation showed that under modern and post-medieval deposits lay brickearths and other alluvia over Pleistocene river terrace gravels. Although ephemeral alluvial features of undetermined Holocene date were noted, the channel in question was not present within the site. |
