Abstract: |
Two evaluation trenches were excavated.
The surface of the former car park was broken out and cleared by contractors under MOLA supervision. trenches were excavated by machine by the contractors, and monitored by a MOLA supervisor. The trenches were then cleaned and recorded by MOLA archaeologists. Two trench evaluation found alluvial clays associated with former Battersea Channel (a tributary of the River Thames), 18th-century gully, brick-lined cess pit that went out of use about the time of the Metropolitan Commission of Sewers Act 1848, and associated garden soil. The site was levelled by mid-late 19th-century housing and the adjacent railway line. A rare Tudor stove tile was found in the modern made ground. |
