Abstract: |
1.1 This report details the results and working methods of an archaeological evaluation carried out by PCA. The work had been commissioned by Durkan. The site comprised an empty plot of land at the corner of 1 Wandle Road and 19 Scarbrook Road CR0 1EX. The northern half of the site that fronts Scarbrook Road had previously been subjected to development in the form of a tower block. This was demolished prior to any archaeological investigations taking place on site, although reinforced concrete footings remain subsurface. 1.6 The results of these works confirm the presence of an intact archaeological sequence across areas of the site previously undeveloped and those that were developed. The chalk walls are thought to relate to substantial buildings dating to the late medieval/early post-medieval period. The absence of any observed Roman archaeology was surprising: previous archaeological investigations to the immediate east of the site recorded pitting and ditch cutting across that area that was not seen to continue to the south-west. |
