Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation undertaken by Pre-Construct Archaeology during geotechnical investigations at New Hibernia House, Winchester Walk, Southwark. Three Test pits (TP 1 to 3) and one Borehole (BH1) were excavated and archaeologically recorded. The proposed TP1 and 2 were specifically designed as geotechnical investigation, whilst TP3 intended to investigate the archaeological potential of the site.The archaeological evaluation found terrace grave at 3.70m BGL in turn sealed by a sequence archaeological deposits spanning from the 11th to the 20th century. Evidence of well constructed external surface was observed in combined TP1 and 3. Here an 11th century layer was sealed by a sequence of ground raising/consolidation deposits which included at least two well compacted layers with a CBM crush finish at the top which were possibly dated to the second half of the 17th century. These deposits were interpreted as part of the landscape associated with the southern area of Winchester House as shown on a reconstruction drawing dated 1649. In this reconstruction, immediately to the south of Winchester House, as the palace as become known, the open area is labelled as 'Tennis Court'. The site lies within the boundary of this open area. A sequence of post-medieval buildings dating from the 17th to the 19th century was also observed in TP1 and 3. |
