Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd at 163-169 and 171-173 Knightsbridge, City of Westminster, consisting of six test pits, plus a seventh test pit in a previously exposed area. London Clay was observed within all test pits, and represent the oldest deposits observed during the evaluation. The test pits also contained the remains of a terrace deposit, likely associated with Taplow Gravel and downslope movement, the surface of which had been truncated by a former basement in all areas observed. All of the test pits were overlain by modern made ground that had been used to backfill the area of the former basement, and five were sealed by a layer of crush recently laid as a piling mat. |
