Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by London and Quadrant Group, to carry out an archaeological evaluation on land at St Agnes Place (Site 1), Kennington Park Extension, London Borough of Lambeth. It is proposed that the remaining extant structures be demolished and replaced with residential housing, a community building, associated landscaping and infrastructure and the realignment of Bolton Crescent. Current proposals also include the construction of a four storey block along Bolton Crescent with three storey townhouses located towards the rear of this development and an adventure play area to the north of the Site. A total of five trial trenches were positioned across the Site to assess its archaeological potential and to ascertain the level of impact the 19th century basemented terraces may have had on the natural geology. The evaluation has confirmed the presence of basements associated with the 19th century terraces in Trenches 2, 3 and 5. Other modern features associated with the terraces, including a soak-away, were also identified. It was evident within all five trenches that these modern features have greatly truncated the natural sandy clays and this is likely to have severely impacted upon the potential survival of any archaeological features or deposits. |
