Abstract: |
An archaeological investigation was undertaken by Pre-Construct Archaeology Limited at 35-36 Soho Square, City Of Westminster. The work comprised of two evaluation trenches and a watching brief on five geotech pits. Of the seven trenches, one was aborted due to the depth of the concrete present, whilst another only uncovered concrete to a depth of c.0.70m below floor level. The remaining trenches revealed a sequence of activity dating to post medieval and late 20th century activities. There was evidence of 18th century garden walls in the south end of the site, in trenches AP7 and TP2. Three walls were found; the wall in TP2 was just a small heavily truncated portion of the wall so little more could be determined. In AP7 one wall ran north south and was abutted by another wall which ran east west. The mortar from the wall in TP2 and the wall running north south in AP7 showed that these walls were contemporary. Together, the bricks used in construction and the pottery recovered from the fills of the construction cuts date these walls to the 18th century. From the lack of archaeology in the other test pits on site it can be determined that any archaeology present up to a metre from the wall foundations and pillar footings had been truncated |
