Abstract: |
Archaeological mitigation comprised of the excavation of a trench 22m by 3.75m at base revealed a sequence of fluvial and alluvial deposits with braided channels that are consistent with the character of Bermondsey Lake, a naturally-formed feature on the south of the River Thames. Peat was encountered, although it was of no great depth and not widespread. The alluvial sequence was overlain by post-medieval garden soils, in turn sealed by a substantial depth of made ground for the 20th century car park established on site. The peat was assessed during a programme of geoarchaeological boreholes in 2017. The results are included in this report. |
