Abstract: |
Archaeology South East was commissioned by Wilmington Construction LLP to undertake an archaeological evaluation and subsequent watching brief on land at 63, Camilla Road, London Borough of Southwark in advance of the redevelopment of the site. The evaluation comprised the excavation of two trial trenches on the site totalling some 31.80 sqm of trenching, with the subsequent watching brief conducted across the remainder of the site, with the exception of areas of prior truncation and where services were present. The natural geology, consisting of fine yellow sand was encountered between 0.63m and 0.36m AOD. a sequence of two undated intercutting ditches on a NNW-SSE orientation were cut into the natural geology to north of the site while to the south a thin band of incipient peat formation overlay the natural sand. Neither the ditches nor the peat layer produced any finds, although a prehistoric or roman date is considered likely on the basis of their position towards the base of the recorded sequence. Both the ditches and peat horizon were sealed by a layer of alluvium, over which a subsoil horizon formed. Two ditches of later post-medieval date were cut into this subsoil horizon and sealed by a layer of topsoil. A layer of imported garden soil overlay the topsoil horizon and was in turn sealed by a thick layer of made ground related to the 20th century redevelopment of the site. |
