Abstract: |
Between the 25th of February and the 19th of March 2013 an archaeological watching brief was conducted by Compass Archaeology on the site of The Convent of The Daughters of Mary and Joseph, West Wickham, in the London Borough of Bromley. The watching brief was undertaken during the excavation of footings for the new convent buildings, post demolition of the existing structures. The watching brief was recommended by English Heritage due to a previous evaluation by Compass Archaeology identifying a potentially ancient cut feature aligned northwest-southeast across the eastern side of the site. In the event the watching brief did identify the feature in the southeast corner of the site, and a Mesolithic worked flint, possibly associated with it, was found on cleaning up the surface of the feature for photography. The feature was not however observed in the northern half of the site on this occasion. Natural deposits were exposed across the entire site and consisted of orange / yellow / grey sandy silts, present from as little as 130mm below construction level. |
