Abstract: |
A Proactive Archaeological Observation and Recording exercise at 82-84 Battersea Rise, London Borough of Wandsworth, during excavation of a basement level for development. Excavation was initiated through a 1.50-2.50m wide and 1.10m below ground level deep trench around the edge of the excavation area to expose and reduce the level of the surrounding steel piling. Further excavation reduced the level of the entire excavation area to 1.10m below ground level initially. Complete excavation of the area down to 4.00m below ground level is to be continued without the presence of an archaeologist as the natural, undisturbed horizon has been identified. The excavation revealed modern deposits to a depth of 0.45m below ground level at which point a piling mat had been placed. Between 0.45-0.72m below ground level was a layer of post-medieval made ground through which the only identifiable feature, a brick drainage pipe, was cut. This layer sealed an alluvial deposit (0.72-0.96m below ground level) which was situated above the natural brickearth (beginning at 0.96m below ground level). |
