Abstract: |
From November 2006 to early January 2007, an archaeological watching brief was carried out at Canary Wharf Riverside on geo-technical trial pits and boreholes. A maximum of 4.10m thickness of alluvium and foreshore deposits were exposed, in addition to deposits relating to the remodelling and eventual reclamation of the docks in the 19th and 20th centuries. No structures were encountered associated with the original 18th century docks, nor was any peat exposed which might be indicative of conditions conducive to prehistoric occupation. |
