Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was conducted by Canterbury Archaeological Trust on land at 14 St Andrew's Road, Croydon, The evaluation involved the excavation, by machine, of two trenches each 5m in length. The natural geology was confirmed as Quaternary period Hackney Gravel, a superficial deposit. These gravel deposits hold some potential for geoarchaeological remains. There was evidence that the site had undergone possible terracing or levelling in the past, likely related to, and contemporary with development of the area during the nineteenth century. It appears that a depth of natural gravels had been redeposited, with evidence from one of the lowest deposits dating this to the early nineteenth century There was no evidence discovered for any activity predating the post-medieval period within the proposed development area. A total of three features, probably dating from the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries were identified in trench 2. These features themselves are of minimal archaeological significance. The results of the present works suggest the proposed development will have a minimal or negligible impact on the archaeological resource in the site. |
