Abstract: |
On the 10th and 11th October 2016 Compass Archaeology conducted an archaeological watching brief on the south lawn and Rockery Bank steps at Eltham Palace, London Borough of Greenwich. The watching brief was commissioned due to the proposed groundworks being located within the Scheduled Ancient Monument of Eltham Palace (SAM 1014833). The work monitored the replacement of 5 wooden boards on the Rockery Bank steps and the removal of a balustrade on the south lawn. No archaeological finds or features were recovered from the two sets of groundworks monitored. All stratigraphy was taken to relate to improvement works in 1999 (for the steps) and the 1930s (for the balustrade). The deepest context was recorded at 59.04mOD. |
