Abstract: |
A watching brief was carried out during the excavation of a geotechnical test-pit, dug in order to assess the archaeological potential of a site in advance of the refurbishment of an early 19th century bridge. Prehistoric stone tools had been found in the area, and the Roman city of London lay 1.2km to the east. The Saxon settlement of Lundenwic would have extended across part of the site, and Lancaster Place occupied part of the former site of a medieval palace. Observation of the test-pit indicated that a disturbance of 500mm, the estimated maximum depth which would be affected by the proposed works, would not result in the destruction of archaeological deposits. It was noted, however, that more information may be required before this conclusion could be applied to the site as a whole. [AIP] |
