Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was conducted on the excavation of geo-technical test pits on land at Leighton Avenue/Paines Lane, Pinner, London Borough of Harrow in advance of the development of the site for a General Practice Surgery. Gifford and Partners Ltd commissioned the project on behalf of Sapphire Primary Care Developments and on the 30th August 2005 Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd undertook the watching brief. Natural clay was encountered in all five of the test pits and in each instance was seen to seal naturally deposited alluvial clayey silts. With the exception of Test Pit 5 no later intrusions had impacted on the natural horizon and no evidence was found to suggest that the natural topography had suffered from horizontal truncation, e.g. terracing. The natural deposits were sealed by a 19th/20th century subsoil and with the exception of a modern E/W orientated drain in Test Pit 5 no features truncated the earlier horizons. All areas of excavation were located within grassed-over areas which formed the uppermost deposits within the test pits. Whilst it remains possible that archaeological deposits may be located in those areas not investigated during the watching brief, the lack of cultural evidence, either in situ or residual, suggests that archaeological features and horizons are not to be anticipated during the redevelopment of the site. |
