Abstract: |
In July 2016, an archaeological evaluation was carried out by AOC on land at Bridge House, Homerton High Street, Homerton, in the London Borough of Hackney (NGR TQ 35515 85027) . The evaluation comprised 3 trenches, each 10m by 1.8m. The work was commissioned by CgMs Consulting, London, on behalf of Potter Raper Partnership. The remains of a mid-18th century wall were identified at a depth of 1.2m below the current ground surface, along with more recent structural remains and concrete surfaces above that. Finds included slag and vitrified material (perhaps from a kiln) but this appeared to have been used as backfill within one of the trenches and may have been imported from elsewhere as there are no records of industrial buildings on the site at any time. The site was subject to aerial bombardment during the Second World War and there were deep deposits of disturbed/made ground deposits across the evaluated area. It is unlikely that any further archaeological mitigation will be required. |
