Abstract: |
Phase 1 of an archaeological evaluation was undertaken on land known as Battersea Park East, fronting Battersea Park Road, in advance of redevelopment. The results of the evaluation indicate that in addition to truncation by modern, concrete-encased services, demolished Victorian terraced houses that fronted Lockington Road to the east and Gladstone Road to the west are likely to have had basements and as such have removed the upper levels of any potentially surviving archaeological stratigraphy. This impact was seen to be less towards the northern end of the Phase 1 trenches (Trench 5) where it is suggested that basementing did not occur. The construction cuts for these structures were seen to be filled with a contemporary levelling deposit that were made directly in to natural deposits. |
