Abstract: |
An evaluation consisting of one 15m trench was carried out prior to redevelopment of land on the north side of Peckham High Street. The site is on the western edge of the Peckham Village Priority Zone, and was previously occupied by a single property (Winchester House), dating at least from the early 19th century and demolished following bomb damage in the 1950s. The evaluation revealed several archaeological features, notably the well-preserved remains of the cellar of Winchester House at the southern end of the trench. The original construction is approximately dated to c 1800. A series of brick walls were recorded, defining the northern extent of the property, internal cellar divisions and a series of alterations in the later 19th century. The structure also retained its stone-flagged floor. To the north of the cellar were two earlier features - a probable domestic rubbish pit and a single brick wall base, both dating to the later 17th or early 18th century and sealed by a truncated 18th century soil horizon. |
