| Abstract: |
The desk-based assessment considered the archaeological potential of the site and the likely impact on this of the proposed redevelopment. Archaeological potential was found to be concerned with prehistoric alluvial deposits formed by the tributaries of the River Thames, the rivers Westbourne and Tyburn. Nearby site investigations had revealed part of a Mesolithic/Neolithic lake and further remains of this may have survived across the study site. Bronze Age metalwork in the vicinity indicated a potential for prehistoric settlement. Ground reduction for the proposed development would be kept to a minimum and proposed ground beams and pile caps would not significantly affect deeply buried deposits. The piling works for the proposed new hospital would impact upon these deposits. [Au(abr)] |
