Abstract: |
The archaeological investigation of the site comprised two trial pits (TP 2 and 3) and one evaluation trench (Trench 1). The area of the site lies within an Archaeological Priority Zone as defined by the London Borough of Southwark in the Southwark Plan (2007). The archaeological Watching Brief carried out within the basement of the existing property recorded natural sands and gravels consistent with the underlying geology of the Kempton Park Gravel formation. Evidence for quarrying of sand was encountered in TP3. The sands and gravels were sealed by the concrete floor of the existing basement. Archaeological evidence of post-medieval deposits and structure were found in evaluation Trench 1. A cobbled and stone surface was revealed at the base of the trench in turn sealed by post medieval demolition and ground make up of post-medieval date. 1.6 A northwest to southeast orientated cellar which pre-date the construction of the existing property truncated the post-medieval make up deposit. |
