Abstract: |
Compass Archaeology carried out a watching brief on 21st June 2010 during drainage improvements to Churchwell Path, within the jurisdiction of the Church of St John-at-Hackney, Lower Clapton Road, London E5 0PD, London Borough of Hackney. A Grant of Faculty being in place for these works. Two small trenches were located on the eastern side of Churchwell Path, immediately adjacent to two gates in the high brick walls that form the eastern extent of the Path. The northern area was adjacent to the gate at the rear of the Police Station at NGR 535089 185270 and the second area was adjacent to the residents' access gate for Sutton Square at NGR 535125 185157. Both sites were on approximately level land - the northernmost trench being at +17.38m OD and the southern at +17.07m OD. The northern trench was of an irregular shape, having a shallow Aco drainage channel (0.36m wide x 0.18m deep) at the northern end in front of the access gate to the Police Station, which drained into a deeper soakaway (c. 1m x1m x 1m deep) just to the south of the gateway. The northern Aco trench and soakaway were a maximum length of 3.01m N/S. The southern trench was a maximum length of 2.7m N/S by 0.4m E/W, but was only 0.2m deep. No archaeological finds or features were encountered in either trench. The northern trench revealed a naturally accumulated subsoil of light brown sandy silt, which became sandier and lighter with depth (observed to a depth of +16.38m OD) and appeared to be a naturally formed and broadly sterile subsoil overlying the natural in this area of Hackney. |
