Abstract: |
A natural channel cut through the London Clay; and further fluvial and alluvial deposits, probably dating to the Pleistocene period, were recorded throughout the site. These deposits may have been associated with the River Tyburn or the Lynch Hill Terrace gravels. A substantial ditch (possibly boundary or drainage in function) ran north-south, through the west of the site, and had been backfilled by a dump of possible house clearance material dating to 1763-1770. In the east of the site, a cut-feature ran north-east-south-west, and was filled with organic-rich material. This feature dated to the 18th century, and may have been associated with the management of the River Tyburn, which is thought to run to the east of the site. Structures associated with the demolished 9 Duke Street, and partially demolished 11 Duke Street, built between 1770 and 1776 were also recorded. |
