Abstract: |
A watching brief during excavation of a pit over an existing water main (c 2.0m x 2.3m x 2.45m deep). The compacted rubble and gravel road base largely overlay the backfill of two east-west services - the existing 24 inch main plus a smaller pipe to the north. To the south pit the road base overlay sterile natural clay at a depth of c 280 to 350mm. Any previous deposits may have been truncated when Upper Tulse Hill was laid out in the early 1800s. The clay had a stiff yellow-light brown matrix and changed little throughout the area of excavation. The Geological Survey indicates a recent Head deposit in this area, but it is more likely the material seen here represents London Clay. |
