Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Pre-Construct Archaeology Limited at the Larnaca Works, Grange Walk, London Borough of Southwark, in advance of the new housing development. Two trenches, stepped and measuring 7.50m x 2.00m at base, and one trial pit, measuring 4.50m by 2.60m, were excavated. Trench 1 was the least truncated of all the evaluation trenches, being located outside the footprint of the twentieth century buildings. The natural gravel was sealed by a fairly sterile layer of brickearth that was in turn overlain by a layer possibly representing the remnants of a plough soil. A number of cut features were observed within the overlying made ground that dated to the late post-medieval to early modern period. In Trench 4 and Trial Pit 1 the natural gravel was seen to be immediately overlain by twentieth century dump layers and made ground, into which construction cuts had been made for the substantial concrete footing for the modern building. Despite the high potential for medieval and post-medieval features in particular it appears that a large proportion of the stratum at Larnaca Works had been severely truncated by the construction works of the early to mid twentieth century. |
