Abstract: |
1.1 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Pre-Construct Archaeology Limited for Turnbull on land at 8-15 Dereham Place, London Borough of Hackney EC2 (Fig 1). The evaluation took place between 16th May and 19th May 2005. The evaluation comprised the observation and recording of three trial trenches (Fig 2). This work was in advance of a proposal to construct an underground car park within the study site. Natural brickearth and sandy gravel was observed across the site at a top height of 13.20 and 12.80m OD . Sealing the natural in one of the trenches were two probable ploughsoil layers of 17th century date. In Trench 1b an 18th century pit was located cutting the natural gravel. A layer of ploughsoil dating to the late 18th/early 19th century was recorded across the site. In Trench 2 the ploughsoil was truncated by two circular brick lined soakaways/wells and a small ovoid pit that was filled almost completely with butchered animal bones. Sealing these features was modern made ground. |
