Abstract: |
Pre-Construct Archaeology Limited (PCA) undertook an archaeological watching brief on a series of boreholes, window samples and test pits, on land at Sleaford Street, London Borough of Wandsworth, SW8 5AB. A number of stratigraphic units were recorded and five broad units or phases identified. The results have been used to interpret the variation in elevation of the different stratigraphic units across the site and therefore predict the potential survival of archaeologically significant deposits. Overall, the monitoring exercise has shown that the study site is underlain by natural terrace gravels which are believed to be incised by the Battersea Channel somewhat further to the south. The waterlogged environment, combined with the risk of flooding, would probably have restricted human occupation of the area and, as a result, any activity would likely be marginal in nature. |
