Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd on land at the rear of 76 Leigham Court Road, London Borough of Lambeth. The central National Grid Reference for the site is TQ 3059 7222. The fieldwork was undertaken on the 21th of August 2009 on behalf of the commissioning client, Paramount Construction and Development Ltd. The evaluation consisted of a single east-west aligned trial trench measuring approximately 15.00m by 1.80m, roughly 5.6% of the development area. Despite the estimated potential for medieval and post-medieval remains the evaluation did not reveal any archaeological features within the site. It has been speculated that the location of the farmhouse of Mount Nod farm, Streatham's largest farming estate, whose origins can be traced back to the 14th century, was just west of the site at the junction of Leigham Avenue and Conifer Gardens (Lambeth Planning 2002). It is possible that the area containing the site was part of the farmed fields associated with Mount Nod farm throughout the medieval period. |
