Abstract: |
A single borehole was put down at the site, thought to be towards the centre of the former Bankside Channel. The results revealed the surface of the basal Shepperton Gravel lies at -2.80m OD and is overlain by a sequence of mineral-rich sediments that become finer upwards. Made Ground caps the alluvial sediments from 0 to +2.50m OD. No Peat is present in the 185 Park Street borehole as it is at the neighbouring 135 Park Street site; a thin (9cm) horizon of organic-rich sediment was recorded at approximately the same elevation, but it is impossible to determine the chronological relationship between this and the Peat deposits from the neighbouring site. Due to the inorganic nature of the stratigraphic sequence, which has very limited potential for radiocarbon dating, no further work is recommended. |
