Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out by Archaeology South East at Fenstanton Primary and City Heights E-Act Academy (including The Dip Site), Tulse Hill, London Borough of Lambeth (NGR TQ 3123 7313) for Carillion PLC on behalf of their client. This work comprised a two stage archaeological evaluation in advance of a proposed redevelopment, involving the excavation of six archaeological trial trenches. In the playground area, one of the trenches preserved a fairly intact sequence of natural clays and gravels overlain by subsoil and the modern playground surface. In another, the natural geology was truncated by partially-demolished brick structures, probably relating to the late 19th century Fenstanton House. These were sealed by demolition/levelling deposits over which the playground surface was laid. At the Dip site, natural geology was overlain by subsoil and made ground, in turn overlain by topsoil. Aside from the masonry of relatively recent origin, no archaeological remains were encountered in any of the trenches. |
