Abstract: |
Between 19th and 22nd April 2013 an archaeological evaluation was conducted in the rear garden of No.51 Grange Road, London Borough of Southwark, following the extension of an existing semi-basement. The evaluation pit did not reach the depth of the 19th century, and earlier, land surface. The exposed stratigraphy illustrated that a huge amount of earthmoving occurred during the construction of the mid-19th century terraces, of which No.51 Grange Road is but one. It can be assumed that the creation of the new semi-basement did not therefore have an adverse effect on buried archaeological deposits as the evaluation pit was excavated to below the depth of the new floor level. Only residual evidence of earlier cultures was recovered from during the evaluation, including a single sherd of Roman pottery, and some earlier examples of 17th century pottery, delftware tiles and clay tobacco pipes. This said, it is probable that earlier features are still buried beneath the made ground deposits encountered and that earlier soil horizons or archaeological features may survive, to be found in any future, deeper excavations in the area. |
