Abstract: |
An archaeological desk-based assessment was undertaken to assess the archaeological implications of the proposed development. A moderate potential for prehistoric archaeological remains was identified, due to the topographic location on what may have been a low lying eyot, and illustrated by residual prehistoric pottery from Vincent Square, bronze weapons found in Pimlico and Millbank, and other isolated finds from the study area. There was a low potential for remains from other periods, from the Roman through to the post-medieval period. The latter may include Civil War defences and a late 18th century building. The impact of 19th century buildings on potential remains was unknown, and may have been confined to those along Douglas Street. The proposed development would have a high impact upon potential archaeological remains, completely truncating any surviving archaeological deposits. It was therefore recommended that an archaeological field evaluation should be conducted outside of the area of the existing basement, in order to determine whether archaeological remains were present on the site, their nature and date.
