Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was conducted by Pre-Construct Archaeology Limited on a plot of land at 133-135 Great Suffolk Street, SE1 1PP. Three test pits (TP's 1-3) were excavated in order to allow an assessment to be made of the site's potential heritage. The earliest deposit which can be associated with human activity on the site was the probable Roman cut feature, recorded in Trench 2, which cut the natural sand. This was amorphous in plan and contained very few finds, and is likely to represent a feature peripheral to the Roman occupation of the area such as ditch or quarry pit. This was sealed by a possible Roman layer, which was in turn overlain by various post-medieval deposits, including a soakaway. Within Trench 1, any earlier features had been truncated by post-medieval levelling layers and brickwork. This was also the case in Trench 3, where a post-medieval feature, likely a quarry pit, was cut into the natural gravel. |
