Abstract: |
An archaeological investigation was undertaken by Pre-Construct Archaeology Limited in two stages between February 2012 and January 2013 at the Former Inglis Barracks, Millbrook Park, Mill Hill, London Borough of Barnet. The Stage 1 and 3 evaluation encountered evidence for prehistoric activity in the form of pits, stake/post holes, a small fire pit and a possible surface layer. These features attest to the possibility of a temporary camp having established itself here during this period. In addition to this post-medieval agricultural activity in the form of plough marks/cart ruts were observed and residual finds attested to Roman and medieval activity within the locality, although no feature of this date were observed. In addition to this, two trenches located an area to the north of the site located the remains of Edwardian era structures pertaining to the first phase of construction at the Former Inglis Barracks. A subsequent 'Strip, Map and Record' exercise revealed at least 30 walls with numerous concrete foundations and service runs comprising three separate buildings; the Cook House, 'A' Block Dining Room and 'B' Block Dining Room. Within each building a number of rooms were encountered which, following analysis of relevant documentary evidence, have been identified as food store rooms, wash-ups, a larder, a bathroom, the prep room and a basemented boiler room which contained a coal chute and the remains of the boiler itself. A number of other ancillary buildings were encounterd across the site demonstrating a total of three phases of activity during the life of the barracks. During the evaluation natural clay deposits were recorded between 101.84m OD at the north of the site and 76.70m OD to the south of the site. During the 'Strip, Map and Record' exercise the natural was observed between 103.29m OD and 103.09m OD. |
