| Abstract: |
Two trenches were excavated on the Putney Wharf residential development. The excavation yielded one residual prehistoric struck flint and two residual Roman finds, but no prehistoric or Roman features, and there were no Saxon features or finds. Natural sand was cut by a small truncated feature containing a sand backfill with one 14th century sherd and by a north-south aligned medieval ditch, probably a boundary feature, containing pottery dating up to AD 1500. There were a few other features cutting the sand, but these contained no finds. The natural sand and features mentioned above were sealed by a grey sandy 'ploughsoil' which contained finds as late as AD 1600 in trench 1, and as late as 1700-1740 in trench 2. The ploughsoil in trench 1 was cut by a north-south aligned wall that had been built in the late 17th or early 18th century. The wall had been destroyed by a modern feature in trench 2, but its line in trench 1 overlay the backfilled north-south medieval ditch, and a projection of its course northwards into trench 2 overlay the continuation of the backfilled medieval ditch there. Thus there was a long-lived boundary line on the site, and this served in the 18th century to separate agricultural activities on its eastern side from domestic activities on its western side, south of the church. The most prominent of the domestic activities was a series of 18th century pits in trench 1. These contained a mass of pottery, and many clay tobacco pipes. The pottery specialist suggested that more work could be carried out this pottery, and this could be supplemented by some study on the clay pipes, as 12 decorated and/or marked pipe bowls were recovered from the site.
