Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East was commissioned by Antic Ltd to undertake an archaeological evaluation on land at Melon Road, Peckham, London Borough of Southwark, in advance of mixed use development comprising a public house with self-contained dwellings above. A single evaluation trench was excavated through the less-disturbed northern half of the site within the basement area of the proposed new public house. Natural deposits (orange brown clay, silt and gravel) survived relatively undisturbed in the base of the evaluation trench at an approximate height of 5.85m OD. The natural geology was sealed by c. 0.60m of topsoil and subsoil. The topsoil was truncated by an east/west brick wall of likely 19th century date. This showed evidence of two phases of construction/repair. Two modern post-holes were also identified. The structural evidence was sealed beneath c.0.55m of modern build-up for a tarmac surface. |
