Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd on land at Buccleuch House, Clapton Common, E5 9AN in the London Borough of Hackney, in advance of redevelopment. The work was commissioned by Hill Partnerships Limited in response to a planning condition attached to full planning permission for the redevelopment of the site, and was undertaken between the 14th and 18th January 2013. Fluvial sands and gravels were observed in Trenches 1, 2 and 4 during machine excavation of geoarchaeological test pits, in addition to underlying terrace gravels. Comparison of the OD heights at which the natural strata was encountered with that documented as a result of the geotechnical boreholes undertaken on the road fronting Buccleuch House, demonstrate that substantial truncation (by at least 2.00m) has occurred to the land to the rear of the building. Evidence of landscaping in the 19th century during the construction of Buccleuch Terrace was encountered in all trenches, with the remains of the building itself (including part of the bay windows) observed in trenches 2 and 3. Demolition layers and made ground associated with the destruction of 19th century building and construction of Buccleuch House in the 1950's were observed in all trenches. |
