Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken during the excavation of a geotechnical trial pit at 142 Bermondsey Street, prior to the redevelopment of the site. This uncovered no archaeological finds, features, or deposits. The modern concrete foundations of two walls were observed, stretching down to at least c0.8m beneath the present floor-surface, and continuing beyond the limit of excavation. Another substantial dump of concrete and brick rubble was observed, plus concrete towards the base of the pit. The general fill in the pit was a loose mid-brown silty deposit, with numerous brick rubble and concrete chunks. This was, therefore, all modern disturbance relating to the construction of the buildings on the site. It is possible that earlier archaeological deposits may survive at deeper levels, as this trial pit was only excavated to a maximum of 1.02m beneath present floor-surface (1.63mOD), and the majority of archaeological deposits found in this area have been uncovered at deeper levels. |
