Abstract: |
Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd. conducted an archaeological watching brief during excavations for a new basement at 6 Lansdowne Walk, Notting Hill, London W11 3LN between the 22nd of May and the 6th of June 2014. Following slab removal the watching brief monitored the excavation of materials to create a space for the basement. The work was conducted within the existing building footprint, the basement being located beneath the current lower ground floor level. The watching brief was carried out as a condition placed on the development by the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. Monitoring of the excavations at the north and south of the site revealed that there had been significant truncation of underlying deposits caused by terracing in the area and development of the current building. The earliest deposit encountered in both areas was natural London Clay, which had been extensively truncated to the extent that it was not possible to ascertain the original natural surface level of the deposit. The London Clay was directly overlain by recent made ground associated with the previous development of the site, no intervening deposits being present because of the extent of truncation. No archaeological features or deposits were present. Because of the extent of truncation and the zero potential for archaeological survival across the rest of the site, it was agreed with the archaeological advisor to the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea that continuation of the archaeological watching brief was not necessary beyond the northern and southern areas already monitored. |
