Abstract: |
In April of 2013 Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd was commissioned by CgMs Consulting to undertake the excavation of two (2m x 2m) archaeological test pits at 139-141 Mare Street, Hackney, London, E8 3RH (centred on NGR ref: TQ 3483 8402). The work was carried out on 30 April 2013. This report details the findings and working methods of the test pit excavation. The principal purpose of the excavation of the test pits was to determine if the graveyard associated with the now extinct chapel north of the site extended along the south side of the former building and thus unto the study site. While a portion of the vestry of the chapel was uncovered the excavation of the two trenches revealed no evidence for human burials. In addition to the vestry wall a former property boundary wall was also encountered. No features predating the 19th century were observed in either test pit. |
