Abstract: |
Archaeology South East was commissioned by Quadrant Construction Services to undertake a preliminary archaeological evaluation of land at Haggerston West and Kingsland Estates, London Borough of Hackney in advance of the redevelopment of the site. A total of three test pits measuring between 3.00m by 3.00m and 3.00m by 4.10m were excavated on the site. The natural brickearth was encountered between 16.65m AOD and 16.43m AOD in Test Pits 1 and 2. In Test Pit 3 the brickearth showed signs of later disturbance and here natural Hackney Gravel was observed at 15.46m AOD. Just two archaeological features were recorded during the investigation; a single undated posthole in Test Pit 3 and a shallow post-medieval pit in Test Pit 1. Otherwise, the observed sequences in each of the three test pits were characterised by truncation and made ground associated with 19th century terraced housing and the subsequent redevelopment of the site with the construction of the tenement buildings that currently occupy the site. |
