Abstract:
Pre-Construct Archaeology Limited was commissioned by Ramboll UK Limited on behalf of Transport for London to carry out archaeological monitoring of geotechnical trial pits and boreholes at Hammersmith Flyover, London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham in advance of renovation work to the flyover. The archaeological monitoring was carried out in August and September 2013. Kempton Park Gravel was found at the base of the stratigraphic sequence. It was capped by a deposit of brickearth, suggesting that all or most of the site was situated on dry land during the early Holocene period. This means that the area could have been exploited by man from the prehistoric period onwards. These natural geological units were sealed by a series of deposits that together probably formed a palaeoground surface that was actively used by man from at least the post-medieval period. A cut feature, perhaps representing a boundary ditch, had been cut from this level, whilst a second feature may have been dug from the same level. The site was extensively developed in the nineteenth century. Two garden boundary walls associated with residential properties dating to this period were identified. The level of survival across the entire site strongly suggests that inhumations associated with St. Paul's Churchyard are present in a triangle of land that falls within the confines of the site.
