Abstract: |
This document summarizes the results of an on-site archaeological investigation undertaken on September 2015 at the Springfield ice house located within the grounds of Burntwood School, Burntwood Lane, Tooting, Wandsworth. The archaeological programme has been recommended by the London Borough of Wandsworth and Historic England due to the fact that the ice house is a Grade II listed building. The investigation was conducted in relation to current plans to restore the ice house by Eger Architects and to support the listed building consent and planning applications. Archaeological investigation took place inside the ice house as well as outside, at the base of the original retaining brick walls of the entrance pathway. The investigation was conducted over the course of two days and included two elements: the archaeological test pits, dug by hand in the internal and external area of the building and a basic level 2 building survey. The investigations revealed foundations of the domed structure and its external walls. The revealed thresholds, door jambs and walls provided information about the probable original design of the building. The written record was supported by drawn and photographic record. Finds retrieved from the site dated to Post Medieval period and were mainly waste discarded in the ice house area. No finds classed as Treasure or human remains were found on the site. |
