Abstract: |
Pre-Construct Archaeology Limited (PCA) was commissioned by Mills Whipp Projects to undertake archaeological monitoring of geotechnical test pits in and around the basement of the Geffrey Museum, 136 Kingsland Road, Borough of Hackney, E2 8EA. The site is centred at National Grid Reference TQ 33483 83091. The Watching Brief involved monitoring 6 trial pits in total, 5 within the basement of the Geffrye Museum and one more pit outside the building. In order to ascertain the depth and nature of any building foundations and their supporting sub-strata. 6.2 The excavation of these test pits only reached the depth of the wall foundations. Beneath these the exposed layer appears to be an archaeological made ground. The test pits did not reach natural so it is unclear what depth of archaeological levels survive under the wall foundations and the extent of the basement. |
