Abstract:
This report has been commissioned by R. Durtnell and Sons Limited in order to record and assess the results of a watching brief carried out at the United Reformed Church, 11 Eden Street, Kingston-upon-Thames Work was monitored on 1st February 2005 during the excavation of a lift pit. The alterations to the western side of the existing church building include the construction of a tower to accommodate a lift. The lift pit is located in an area of a backfilled basement. The basement wall, orientated east-west was 0.4m to the south of the existing church wall and measured 0.5m in width by 1.5m high, and extended beyond the limit of excavation to the east and west. A second wall abutted at a 90 degree angle and extended beyond the limit of excavation to the south. Both walls were 19th century brick built with very shallow foundations, with no obvious foundation cut. The basement slab was 1.5m below ground level, approximately 6.1m OD and varied in thickness between 0.1m on the west side of pit and 0.15m on the east side of the pit. The basement slab was removed to reveal a layer of dark greenish brown silty clay. This clay layer contained occasional fragments of oyster shell and tile and small fragments of charcoal. Below the dark greenish clay layer was a 0.15m thick layer of dark reddish brown silty clay with frequent gravel, which contained an occasional fragment of tile. There was no clear interface between these two layers. A layer of stained gravel and course sand was recorded at 1.9m below ground level (approximately 5.7m OD). The sandy gravel was dark reddish brown which became lighter towards the base of the excavation. The limit of excavation was reached at 2.2m below ground level (approximately 5.4m OD).
