Abstract: |
An archaeological investigation (Phase 2) on land at Grange Walk, Bermondsey Spa, London Borough of Southwark SE16, was undertaken by Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd. on behalf of United House. Natural sands and gravels were recorded from an uppermost elevation of 1.83m OD in the north part of the site. In the south part of the site the natural sands and gravels were found at 1.53m OD. The natural exhibited a general downward northern inclination. The investigation revealed evidence of prehistoric activity (Phase 2) localized in the north part of the site. Evidence of alluvial deposits dated to the early post-medieval period (Phase 3) were identified. Finds dated to the Roman and medieval periods together with artefacts dated to the medieval and post-medieval period were retrieved from this horizon. Evidence of agricultural activity was identified on the study site (Phase 4a). Horticultural cut features and post medieval ditches were observed across the site. Finds dating to mid to late 18th century were recovered from Phase 4a. The investigation revealed significant evidence of post-medieval activity across the site (Phase 4b). Horn core lined pits were observed. Evidence of structures directly associated with the tanning process was identified during the archaeological investigation (Phase 4c). Timber and brick lined pit structures were interpreted as liming and tanning pits associated with the 19th century Grange Tannery complex. |
