Abstract: |
Seven evaluation pits were excavated in the basement of the building. In addition a borehole transect and window sampling was undertaken. Natural gravels at the northern end of the site were truncated by the current/previous development on the site, evidenced by brick foundation walls. At the southern end of the site, the gravels were recorded 5.2m below ground level, overlain by foreshore deposits. Above the foreshore deposits, up to 4.2m of post-medieval dumping deposits was recorded. One of the boreholes and three of the window samples recorded the possible remains of a wall comprising stone, chalk, mortar and a thin layer of cemented green sand, at 2.7m below ground level and may indicate the east-west medieval and or later Thames river wall. |
