Abstract: |
The fieldwork consisted of monitoring ground reduction across the site to a level of c. 12.7m OD in preparation for piling. In some areas in the north-west of the site Hackney Gravels were recorded at an elevation of c. 12.75m OD, above which alluvial-lain marshland deposits were recorded. Sealing this alluvium were extensive post-medieval deposits of dumped ground reclamation material recorded to a height of c. 13.59m OD. A late 18th-19th century brick built basement at the west of the site cut into these dump layers. Above this sequence, to a level of around c. 16.00m OD, was a further layer of made ground dating to the 20th century. A similar sequence as that described above was recorded by the geoarchaeological borehole investigation and during an archaeological evaluation on the site in December 2012. |
