Abstract: |
The assessment details the results of archaeological investigations at 6-7 Stoney Street, London Borough of Southwark. The archaeological work was funded by Network Rail and was undertaken to discharge conditions attached to planning permission for Thameslink improvement works. The investigations were centred at National Grid Reference TQ 32571 80190. The upper archaeological horizon was encountered at 4.95m OD and a stratified archaeological sequence measuring c.3.70m in thickness was recorded. The earliest evidence comprised an early 1st century AD burnt horizon, post-dated by mid 1st century AD cut features. Alignments altered during the mid 1st century AD, suggesting that the environment altered during this time. These alignments were utilised during the following sub-phases of Roman activity and may relate to the division and apportionment of land at this time. A clay and timber building was built on site during the mid/late 1st century and it is possible that the building may have burnt down during the Boudican Revolt. Clay and timber buildings were recorded during the late 1st century and early 2nd century, with a masonry building constructed later in the 2nd century. The masonry building was robbed out in the late Roman and post-Roman. A building occupied the west of the site during the medieval period whilst multiple, stratified pits were recorded in the eastern part at a contemporary time. The medieval building was robbed in the 16th century and thereafter a complex sequence of urban development dating from the late 16th century through to the 19th century was present. |
