Abstract: |
In July 2004 an archaeological evaluation was undertaken by AOC Archaeology Group at the Kingston Tup Development 88 London road, London Borough of Kingston-upon-Thames. The evaluation involved the opening of two machine excavated trenches across the proposed foot prints of the proposed development; Trench 1 15m by 2m and trench 2 5m by 2m. Both trenches contained post-medieval features and layers of made ground. No archaeological remains from earlier periods were discovered. The archaeology predominant in both trenches was that of a series of dump deposits between yard surfaces constructed from various materials (chalk brick, compacted mortar like cement and cement) throughout the late 18th and 19th centuries up to the present. This fits in well with the historical maps evidence for the sites near static form since 1813 as a court yard surrounded by buildings on three sides opening to the now London road in the north. The archaeology in both trenches was capped by a hard core bed for the present yard surface. The natural geological deposits across the site were sterile bands of brick earth and gravels in a sand matrix. |
