Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief and an archaeological evaluation were carried out by Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd on land at 8-10 Paul Street, Shoreditch, London EC2A 4JH in the London Borough of Hackney. PCA were appointed by Queensway Group in response to an archaeological condition attached to the planning consent. Works were undertaken in accordance with an approved Written Scheme of Investigation prepared by Mills Whipp Projects. Three geotechnical Test Pits were observed and one trial trench was undertaken to inform of the presence or absence of any archaeological features or deposits on the site. The works recorded a sequence of naturally deposited brickearth overlain by 18th and 19th century made ground, late 19th century walls and a late 19th century cobbled surface. There was no trace of the buildings depicted on Horwoods 1799 map. The cobbled surface revealed may belong to the courtyard depicted on the Ordnance Survey Map of 1875. There was no evidence for the marshland within the study site although this may relate to undulating ground levels rather than its removal. The entire site was sealed by 20th century hardcore and a modern concrete slab. |
