| Abstract: |
The archaeological investigations were centred at National Grid Reference TQ 3266 8031 and constitute 'Thameslink Archaeological Assessment #1 - Vaults 2, 5 and 9, Railway Approach'. Archaeological test pits had previously been excavated on site by MoLA (site codes BKV02 and TLK08), whilst archaeological excavations were conducted by OA-PCA within Vault 2 and Vault 5 during 2010, with an archaeological watching brief conducted within Vault 9 during the early part of 2011 (site code BVL10). The investigations encountered the uppermost archaeological horizon between heights of 3.78m OD and 1.75m OD, with a stratified archaeological sequence measuring between 3.20m and 1.70m in thickness recorded beneath. The archaeological sequence comprised a series of stratified Roman deposits, mainly of 1st-2nd century date, deposited above the natural gravel. These included probable mortar floor deposits and other potentially structural features. Mid-late 2nd century deposits contained significant quantities of ceramic and other building material, including tile and stone types derived from a high status building. There was limited evidence for late Roman activity, with no Saxon and medieval deposits present, perhaps as a result of post-medieval truncation. Brick structures of the latter period included a wall and soakaway, a floor and a culvert, mainly associated with deposits of 18th-19th century date. |
