Abstract: |
A ground penetrating radar (GPR) survey was conducted over land at 25 Lavington Street, London Borough of Southwark (centred on NGR 531980,180120). The project was commissioned by Gaterule Ltd on behalf of Gaterule Ltd (the Client) with the aim of establishing the presence, or otherwise, and nature of detectable archaeological features in advance of a planning application associated with development of the site. The Site comprises an area of tarmac hard standing used as a yard, car parking and access and covers an area of c. 0.05 ha. The geophysical survey was undertaken on 27th April 2016. The GPR survey has demonstrated the presence of a number of high amplitude features. Many of the high amplitude responses visible in both the 400 MHz and 200 MHz data are generated from reflections off of metallic services and apparent reinforced concrete. The 200 MHz, however, has also revealed a number of high amplitude responses that may be indicative of possible archaeological features in the western part of the survey area. The area in which these responses have been recorded had two former structures; a Starch Works (OS 1863-1873) and a Printing Works (OS 1893-95) as well as earlier evidence from the Romano-British period and medieval periods recovered during excavations (Mon ID: ELO14216; WA2016). It is unclear what period these features data from and further intrusive investigation would be required to ascertain a definitive interpretation.
