Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd at 87 Reighton Road and 130-130a Northwold Road, London Borough of Hackney, E5 on the 28th March and the 18th April 2012. Two visits were conducted, the first to investigate the nature and extent of the basemented area within the site and the second to observe ground reduction outside the footprint of the old basement. Excavations on site revealed a sequence that comprised solely of terrace sand deposits (derived from the Hackney Gravel formation), overlain by a layer of alluvial silty clay or brickearth, both devoid of archaeological cultural material. A layer of reworked brickearth, datable to the late post-medieval period sealed the natural deposits, with the potential for horizontal truncation not discounted. The construction cut for the original basement was also observed, now filled with modern backfill. A layer of recent made ground sealed the remainder of the site. |
