Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East was commissioned by CgMs Consulting to to undertake an archaeological watching brief of land at Chestnut Grove Academy School, Chestnut Grove, Balham, Borough of Wandsworth, in advance of redevelopment. The watching brief was carried out on the 22nd February 2016. The watching brief revealed that, between c.1973-2002, during the process of removing the post-medieval housing and the building of the existing school the whole site had been reduced, thus meaning the whole site sits within a basin approximately 2m lower than the existing road level, thus making the likelihood of any archaeological survival within the site minimal. The stripping of an access ramp from Chestnut Grove into the school revealed a sequence of natural head deposits located at 23.09m OD overlying made ground and sealed by topsoil and turf. The ramp sloped east-west from 25.43m OD to 23.38m OD. No archaeological evidence was observed on site. |
