Abstract: |
In January and February 2013 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological monitoring and recording on the site of Alkham and Horton Towers, St Mary Cray, Orpington, London (NGR TQ 47290 68090). The monitoring was commissioned by Hill Partnerships and was undertaken in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning permission for the demolition of the existing structures and replacing them with 96 dwellings within six blocks. The site lies with an Archaeological Priority Zone of LB Bromley. Archaeological investigations have recorded evidence of prehistoric activity in the area, and Roman activity and occupation is known to have extended along the Cray Valley close by. The site had a potential for archaeological remains of prehistoric, Roman, medieval and post-medieval date in areas where previous ground truncation may have been less severe. In the event the monitoring revealed the remains of a 19th century building. The majority of the site has been adversely affected by the modern construction of the now-demolished Alkham and Horton towers. |
