Abstract: |
An evaluation of the archaeological potential at land at Sylverdale Road ,Croydon involved opening up 8 trenches. The natural Sandy Gravel was encountered approximately 1.10m below ground level sealed by c.1.00m to 1.30m layer of overburden made up of a sequence of dump and make up layers deposited during the later half of the post-medieval period associated with a phase of ground making and consolidation. A later watching brief confirmed this sequence in 2 further excavations for footings. 2 shallow gullies were observed cut into the natural in the base of trench 1 and 5, which may be early features, but lack of finds makes date and function unknown. |
