Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd at 1 Cheyne Gardens, Chelsea, SW3, London Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. The central National Grid Reference for this site is TQ 2742 7775. The field evaluation was undertaken between 20th-31st August 2007, and the commissioning client was Alan Bouvier Associates. The evaluation consisted of one stepped trench located at the rear of the property designed to investigate the sites' archaeological potential in advance of construction work for an extended basement. An evaluation was deemed necessary for the site by Diane Walls of English Heritage, Archaeology Advisor to the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. The earliest deposit encountered was the natural Kempton Park gravel with underlies the area, upon which a number of masonry lined features and possible floor surface was discovered which, it is posited, relates to the garden of the Tudor Manor house once located on the site. Following this a series of robber cuts and truncated post-medieval features were identified along with a number of garden layers relating to early modern activity on the site. These later remains were seen to have significantly truncated the earlier remains. |
