Abstract: |
An archaeological investigation was undertaken by Pre-Construct Archaeology Limited at 2-4 Fellmongers Yard, Croydon, Surrey. CR0 1RG. The work formed part of a planning condition applied prior to redevelopment of the land on site. The earliest archaeological deposit was a layer of agricultural soil of post-medieval date, encountered within all trenches, and selaing natural Taplow Gravels. A large sub-rectangular cut was observed towards the south of the site which contained what is believed to be liming pits associated with a localised fellongery/tanning industry that was present in the area during the post-medieval period. The remaining features, datable to the late 18th - 19th centuries comprise of two substantial brick wall foundations which likely represent the northern and eastern edges of two buildings that may have once bounded the site on the western and southern sides, a cess pit/converted lavatory block, a cellar and four rubbish pits. |
