| Abstract: |
A single 6m by 3m trench was excavated across the site at the behest of The Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England Survey of London section who were carrying out a survey of Charterhouse. A geophysical survey of Charterhouse Square had suggested the location of the chapel built in 1481 and the trench was designed to locate this and to establish whether there was any archaeological evidence for burials from the Black Death. No evidence of the chapel was located but a single burial of a child was found. It was not possible to definitively indicate that this burial was interred during the Black Death as there was some documentary evidence that later burials were made in the Square. However, its stratigraphic position and the dating evidence suggested that it did indeed date to the period of the Black Death cemetery. [Au(adp)] |
