Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried at by MOLA at 28 Kings Mews, London. A single evaluation trench 2.15 x 2.28m was excavated in the central/eastern area of the site. The slab was broken out and cleared by contractors under MOLA supervision. The trench location was plotted in relation to the existing walls of the property using an offset methodology and subsequently tied to the OS grid by the MOLA Geomatics Team. An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by MOLA in 2017. The earliest deposits are provisionally interpreted as associated with quarrying activity (undated). The overlying stratigraphy comprised possible agricultural activity (plough soil) of indeterminate date, followed by post-medieval external yard or garden activity, in the form of dumps, with some evidence for crude surfaces or pathways and to a lesser extent, garden soil. A brick-lined soakaway presumably relates to one of the properties shown on 18th-/19th-century maps as fronting onto Kings Mews or the open space that preceded it .Modern slab level lies at 21.44m OD. Natural gravels were recorded at 19.29m OD (likely to be truncated). |
