Abstract: |
The archaeological watching brief revealed extensive archaeological deposits across the central and south-east parts of the site. These consisted of up to 1.7m of medieval dumps and possible clay and gravel surfaces to the south-east of the site overlying waterlain material extending to a depth of at least 5m beneath the concrete slab. Cut into the medieval dumps were two barrel-wells providing evidence of early post-medieval occupation. The waterlain deposits were present across the central and south-eastern areas of the site, suggesting the presence of perhaps a lost tributary of the River Fleet. The presence of apparently horizontal stratified deposits, including possible surfaces towards the south-east of the site, suggested terracing down to the Fleet valley towards the east with the remains of medieval cellars or other structures. No archaeological deposits were revealed to the north or west of the site with only natural sandy gravel and London Clay being observed. [Au(abr)] |
