Abstract: |
Between the 6th January and 14th February 2017 Compass Archaeology conducted an Archaeological Watching Brief at Tottenham Green, London Borough of Haringey, N15 4RY, during groundworks associated with the completion of five reception pits ahead of directional drilling to install a new water main. The watching brief was commissioned by Thames Water, as recommended by the Greater London Archaeological Advisory Service, and conducted by Barhale. The pits measured between 2 and 5m2, and up to 5m deep. A relatively simple stratigraphic sequence was recorded in all pits, in general comprising post-medieval made ground over natural London Clay, with some degree of modern truncation from the installation of various services, particularly in Reception Pit 5. No evidence of earlier activity was observed, and the small quantity of finds (glass, pottery, metal) date to the post-medieval period. Natural London Clay was encountered at 12.75mOD, rising northwards to c14mOD, reflecting the natural slope of the land. |
