Abstract:
An archaeological excavation and watching brief took place at Kings Cross Central in the Northern Area Blocks between 12th of Septeber and the 7th of October 2011. These works revealed natural clay overlain by post-medieval made ground horizons dating to between 1630 and 1700. Sealing these layers was a horizon of burnt clay representing the formation level for the Midland Roundhouse which was erected between 1858 and 1859. This building was represented by an exterior wall, a ring drain, the central turntable, 4 inner column bases and 2 outer coplumn bases. A total of 7 engine pits are believed to date to between 1860 and 1931. The roundhouse was demolished in 1931, an episode represented by demolition material.
