Abstract: |
In July 2011 Oxford Archaeology South (OAS) undertook a geoarchaeological watching brief on 6 geotechnical test pits and 15 boreholes as part of the Sainsbury's store and hotel redevelopment in Wandsworth, Greater London. The work was undertaken on behalf of Waterman Energy, Environment and Design Ltd who were acting on behalf of the Sainsbury's Land Securities Joint Venture. The work aimed to identify and record areas of archaeological potential and to map the site's buried sedimentary sequence. The site was located at the edge of the gravel terrace next to the River Wandle.The watching brief revealed a sequence of truncated Pleistocene gravels, house footings and 19th century warehouse foundations, overlying the London Clay. This was sealed by the modern car park foundations at the superstore. All the finds date from between early 18th to 19th century associated with the former terrace housing that is known to have occupied the site. No earlier finds or features of interest were identified during the fieldwork. The archaeological potential of the site is therefore considered to be low due to the levels of disturbance and truncation. |
