Abstract: |
In February 2013 Archaeological Solutions Limited (AS) completed an archaeological statement for 4-8 Effie Road, London SW6 1TB. The statement was prepared in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning approval for the redevelopment of the site. A medieval settlement is recorded at Walford Green which included nine tenements, two of which may have been located close to the assessment site, and a third which was 90m to the north-west. The 1869-1874 OS maps show a building partly located on the site, a path or track crossing it, and field boundaries running along the northern and western edges. A Brick Field is shown bordering the west of the site. The 1896 OS map shows that the area is now fully developed including the construction of the District line cutting to the east of the site. There is a single rectangular building located on the western side of the assessment site. The 1916 OS map shows that the assessment site is fully developed apparently containing the same buildings that were present until recently. Avirons Associates Ltd drilled five boreholes and hand excavated two trial holes on the assessment site in 2011-2012. The stratigraphy comprised 0.2m of concrete slab overlying concrete mix across the entire site. Beneath this was further Made Ground extending to a depth of between 4.40m and 6.60m which comprised dark peaty, gravelly clay containing flint, brick, concrete and roots. Although the potential for medieval archaeological remains in the area of the site is moderate to high, the extent and structure of the made ground reduces that potential within the site to a minimum. |
