Abstract: |
A single trench measuring 6m x 6m, was dug to a maximum depth of 4m via a series of 1m steps. The site lies in the historic core of Hampton Wick, a settlement which lies at the western end of Kingston Bridge and may well have originated in Saxon times. The site identified the potential to contain post-medieval and medieval structural remains associated with properties fronting onto the High Street and remains of medieval and post-medieval river frontages and bridge crossing. The aim of the evaluation was to assess the archaeological potential of the site and provide information on the buried alluvial sequence where piling impacts are proposed. The evaluation identified a sequence of Tudor riverine deposits, ground-make up deposits and features. This material represents the earliest recorded development of the site potentially associated with structures along the High Street. This sequence was overlain by 18th century rubbish pits, layers and finds that represent a phase of redevelopment at the site. Two phases of building remains are also recorded within the evaluation area from the 19th century onwards possible associated with local workshops or industries. |
