Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was conducted for Engage Lambeth Ltd ahead of a programme of refurbishment and development at Dunraven School, Leigham Court Road, Lambeth. An Historic Building Recording project was also undertaken as part of the archaeological works due to the considerable changes that were to occur to the school buildings as part of the redevelopment. Three trenches (NAU 2, 4 and 5) and two test pits (NAU 1 and 3) were excavated as part of the project. Traces of an external surface within Trench NAU 5 probably represented a driveway associated with one of the Victorian town houses that had originally lined Leigham Court Road. Sherds of Victorian pottery indicated the type of general household wares in use at that time. Several areas had been subjected to large scale dumping of earth, during the lifetime of the school as preparatory work prior to the creation of new school buildings. In particular the deposits within Trench NAU 4 contained building material derived from the demolished accommodation block of a teacher training college that occupied part of the site at an earlier date. |
