Abstract:
Redevelopment of the site included demolition of the existing building and replacement with an eight-storey building with deeper basement. The foundations to the new building were piled and additional structural retaining walls were added to the southern boundary. The watching brief monitored works during demolition of the existing basement and subsequent ground-reduction across the site footprint. Also - localised excavations below existing floor levels in a sequence of vaults that extend within and along the north site limit. The watching brief monitored and recorded the works intermittently from July 9th to November 8th 2007. In situ natural river terrace gravel was recorded at c 20.35m OD and the highest survival of archaeological deposits occurred at 21.69m OD. Archaeological remains were limited and no dating evidence was retrieved. However, a deposit recorded beneath a vault (towards the north-east site limit) was indicative of rural, open land, pre-dating post-medieval urban development; possibly Roman or medieval. Later sequences included post-medieval rubbish dumping and/or general landfill, with contemporary pitting, probably associated with early urban development of the site, from the late-18th to mid 19th century.
