Abstract: |
Seven evaluation trenches were excavated in order to establish the nature and thickness of alluvium as well as ascertain the presence, or lack of thereof, of archaeological deposits, structures or artefacts. In all the trenches no archaeology was observed. Approximately 2m of modern made ground was recorded in all but one of the trenches overlaying alluvial clays and silts. In trench 1 a concrete obstruction was encountered at c 4m below ground level (bgl). Additionally, three geotechnical pits (A - C) were excavated by the Client and monitored by MOLA. Their primary objective was to locate and expose the Russia Dock wall. The dock wall was not encountered in any of the geotechnical pits. The geotechnical pits revealed modern made ground down to a depth of c 2-3 m bgl. |
