Abstract: |
An Archaeological Watching Brief was undertaken by Pre-Construct Archaeology Limited during groundworks associated with the renovation of buildings on land at 1-408 Great Guildford Street, London Borough of Southwark. Archaeological monitoring of the work on the site was carried out intermittently between the 22nd of April 2013 and the 16th June 2014. The watching brief monitored the excavation of a number of service trenches, a crane base and a number of inspection chambers. The aim of the work was to preserve by record any significant archaeological deposits that were present, to explain any relationships between such features, and to relate them to remains previously recorded in the immediate vicinity. Although groundworks were carried out over extensive areas of the site, none of the excavations penetrated beyond 19th- and 20th-century demolition, destruction and infill deposits. Consequently no significant archaeological features nor deposits were encountered during this exercise, neither were any dateable finds recovered, other than modern demolition rubble. All deposits observed on site dated to the late 19th and 20th centuries. |
