Abstract: |
An evaluation comprised four trial pits, at 1-7 Snowsfields and in Bermondsey Street site and were specifically designated for archaeological investigation with provision to remove 'low grade layer' after recording and to auger from the top of the alluvial deposits. The auger holes drilled within the site demonstrated that it is positioned within a deep former river channel at c 7.5m below ground level, partly filled by in-channel sands and silty sands that are probably Early to Middle Holocene (Mesolithic to Neolithic) in date. The overlying alluvium is likely to date to the historic era (Roman period onwards) and, where it survives, may seal earlier archaeological remains. The alluvial silts were sealed by late post-medieval dumps and the remnants of late 18th/early 19th century houses and a18th/19th century wool warehouse on the Bermondsey site. |
