Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East was commissioned by Orion Heritage to undertake an archaeological watching brief at Clapham Park Estate, London Borough of Lambeth, between the 17th of July and 2nd of August, 2017. The work was principally comprised of the monitoring of geotechnical test pits whose primary purpose was the identification of the old air raid shelters. A concrete core survey has also been used and integrated where possible. Three air raid shelters were observed. These comprised two shelters in site C, measuring 8m long by 3m wide, and one shelter in site E measuring 30m long by 20m wide. The air raid shelters are visible at ground level as mounds of earth over them are still present. No shelter(s) were identified in site F and no other archaeological finds features or deposits of any interest were observed across the site. In Site C, the western shelter is partially backfilled with rubble and flooded, and a probable reinforced concrete wall of the eastern shelter is of good condition at the top, but weathered and degraded at the base. In Site E, the shelter is partially backfilled with rubble and flooded, concrete walls along the northern and eastern sides of the shelter were reinforced, and degraded along the western side. Based on the results of these investigations further recording of the shelters is recommended as part of a controlled watching brief during demolition. |
