Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken between 6th November and 15th November 2013 on land at Sutton House/Breaker's Yard, 2 and 4 Homerton High Street, Hackney. The monitoring consisted of the observation of ground reduction across the site and excavation of new drainage. The archaeological watching brief recorded a series of brick and masonry features located in the centre of the site, the earliest of which was the corner of a Tudor building, the Tanhouse, known to have been extant on the site from the late 15th century. Recorded in direct association with the Tudor foundations was an external brick structure which appeared to represent a soakaway. The recorded remains appeared to suggest that the original rectangular structure was also Tudor in date and was subsequently rebuilt in the 18th century. During this phase three drainage inlets, one of which ran down a pan tile 'downpipe' from the eaves of the roof, were constructed, feeding into the structure. The 19th century saw this feature capped with a brick arch roof and a small area sealed by two large York stones, which appeared to allow access into the structure, suggesting it was still in use. These remains were sealed by a series of late 19th century and 20th century deposits associated predominantly with the Breaker's Yard extant on the site from the mid 20th century onwards. |
