Abstract: |
One evaluation trench (Trench 6) to the south of those excavated in Phase 1 was excavated by Britannia Archaeology Ltd on land at The Rifles Public House, Swan and Pike Road, Enfield Lock, London (NGR 537189 198364) in January 2014. Trench 6 was located beneath the 1917 extension to the public house, positioned to evaluate the survival of archaeological remains below the structure. No archaeological features were present in the trench and only early modern brick rubble relating to the construction/demolition layer (2062) phase of the 1917 extension was found. Five layers that describe the sites taphonomy were recorded during the evaluation, the earliest of which is the former gravel bed course of the River Lea. The second layer comprises a calcareous tufa knoll similar to, or part of, the knoll present in Phase 1. A mixed interface of tufa and alluvial clay silt is located above the tufa and represents the third layer. Alluvial clay silt layer (1004 Phase 1 and 2004 Phase 2) was present in all of the trenches and comprises the fourth layer in the sequence, a sterile deposit that formed when the rivers course was present to the west of its current location. The most recent layer comprises a probable mixed construction and demolition phase that is distinct within Phase 2, of a dining room extension added in 1917 and subsequently demolished in January 2014. |
