Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Pre-Construct Archaeology Limited on land at Bear Lane, London Borough of Southwark. The evaluation forms the first part of the archaeological mitigation process and as such was designed to evaluate any archaeologically significant features overlying a previously identified palaeo-channel. As such, the evaluation methodology was designed with the intension of identifying post medieval archaeology only, with any earlier deposits to be examined at a later date. Seven trenches were excavated around the perimeter of the former location of Bear House. In four of the trenches deposits characterised as natural alluvium were identified. In the remaining three trenches concrete foundations obstructed any further excavation. Structures interpreted as the remains of late 18th century domestic buildings were identified in three of the trenches, while the remains of an early 20th century basement were found in another trench. In all but one of the trenches foundation works associated with the construction of Bear House had had a significant impact. |
