Abstract: |
This report details the results of an archaeological evaluation at Deptford Foundry, Arklow Road, London Borough of Lewisham, London SE14 6EB. The archaeological evaluation has provided evidence for the late post-medieval development of the study site. It demonstrated that extensive masonry remains associated with the development of the Deptford Foundry survive under the existing concrete floor slab. Natural terrace gravel was exposed in Trenches 2, 3, 4 and 5. This was in turn sealed by agricultural deposits which were truncated by the the late post-medieval foundations associated for the Deptford Foundry industrial complex. Two distinct phases of construction associated with Deptford Foundry were identified: Phase 1 indicated the development of the industrial complex from its original construction during the 1880s to the final years of the 19th century; Phase 2 indicated the modification and additions to the industrial complex during the first half of the 20th century. Except for the identification of the agricultural horizons which pre-date the construction of the industrial complex, no archaeological evidence for human activity prior to the 19th century was observed on site. |
