Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd at the Kender Triangle Phase 4, New Cross Road, London Borough of Lewisham, SE 14, in advance of redevelopment works. Kempton Park sand and gravel was observed in Trenches 1, 2 and 4. Trench 4 is situated in lower lying land accounting for the clay/sand deposits encountered there and Trench 5 to the north-east. Natural brickearth sealed the Kempton Park formation towards the north of the site in Trenches 1 and 2. A thin organic layer with some clay content was observed in Trenches 4 and 5. It is possible that this layer may represent a former agricultural horizon which had been subsequently sealed with a layer of clay for the purpose of ground consolidation in the case of Trench 5. Post-medieval made ground layers were observed in Trenches 1, 2 and 5. A 19th century wall foundation represented a boundary wall separating the gardens of the terraced houses and villas to the south with the lane located to the north. Modern truncation was recorded in all six trenches to varying degrees, both vertically and horizontally. It is likely that a majority of this was the result of bomb damage and clearance during the Second World War and, more significantly, construction work in the latter half of the century and later demolition. |
