Abstract: |
Two phases of archaeological evaluation were carried out between 11th and 19th December 2014 and 12th and 20th January 2015 respectively, during and following from demolition works at the site. The investigation comprised six archaeological trial trenches (Trenches 1 - 6). The archaeological evaluation demonstrated that the development of the Ram Brewery during the late 19th century and into the modern period had truncated potential archaeological horizons including any structures that previously stood on the site. The archaeological investigation revealed naturally deposited sands and gravels at heights ranging from 2.04m OD in Trench 6, at the northeast corner to the site, to 2.50m OD in Trench 5, to the western side of the site. This was sealed by an alluvial sequence which is considered equivalent to the Upper Alluvium which was recorded at the site during geoarchaeological works. The archaeological evaluation did not encounter any discrete features, deposits or finds that pre-dated the late post-medieval/early modern period whether cutting or overlying natural deposits. Masonry structures relating to the modern development of the Ram Brewery were encountered in Trenches 1 and 2. No traces of the 1803 Surrey Iron Railway were encountered within any of the trenches. |
