Abstract: |
A watching brief was carried out during enabling works at the proposed site of a superstore. The works comprised the excavation of two sewer trenches and an electricity cable trench. Prehistoric artefacts dating from all periods from the Palaeolithic to the Iron Age had been found in the surrounding area, whilst an Iron Age ditch and traces of a settlement had been recorded. Roman remains had also been found in the area, and a hoard of Saxon coins had been found in Erith. Erith itself was an important ship-building centre during the Tudor period. During the watching brief, no deposits or features of archaeological significance were identified, although a possible infilled channel or inlet was located. [AIP] |
