Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East was commissioned by the Waterman Infrastructure and Environment Limited to undertake an archaeological evaluation at the Rich Industrial Estate Marketing Suite area, Crimscott Street, Bermondsey, London Borough of Southwark, between the 24th of July and 3rd of August, 2017. The work was comprised of the excavation of two evaluation trenches, and was the second phase of evaluation work to be undertaken on site. Trench 6 measured 10m x 4m x 2.20m deep (8m x 2m at base) and Trench 7 measured 12m x 4m x 2.12m (10m x 2m at base). The evaluation revealed natural deposits between 1.23-1.37m AOD in trench 6, and 1.33-1.35m AOD in Trench 7. The activity within the Marketing Suite area of the Rich Industrial Estate site can broadly be divided into three distinct periods of activity. The first is that of mid-late 17th century agricultural activity ([6/047], [6/045], [6/043], [7/018], [7/011], [7/014], [7/009]). This is then sealed by a series of two levelling deposits that were observed in both trenches. [6/039] and [7/006] are the immediately overlaying layer, which were then sealed by [6/038] and [7/005]. These deposits are then overlain by later 19th century activity, including the chalk floor/foundation [6/029]. This looks then to be of the standard model observable within the suburbs of London: areas of rural character that are then built upon during the 19th century. It should be noted that some residual Roman finds were observed within various features on site, but unlike trench 3 (ASE report 2017365) no actual Roman features were observed within trenches 6 and 7. |
