Abstract: |
Transport for London (TfL) has been tasked with implementing the Cycle Hire Scheme within central London by summer 2010. Approximately 10, 200 docking points at around 400 sites at a density of approximately nine sites per square kilometre are required. An Archaeological Impact Assessments was carried out, for sites where it was deemed necessary, to identify if further archaeological investigation would be required. A generic Written Scheme of Investigation was written for all sites requiring further archaeological investigation. Docking station 01/615106 was deemed to need further archaeological investigation. This investigation consisted of an archaeological watching brief during all goundworks for the docking station. No archaeological features were observed during excavations of the main trench and natural geology was not reached. A smaller trench extending from the main trench revealed brickwork; this was present at about 0.20m below ground level. The brickwork consisted of yellow and red, frogged brick (machine moulded), bonded with grey sandy mortar with chalk flecks. The brickwork is probably part of the foundation construction for the late 20th century extension to the national gallery. |
