Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was carried out on a geotechnical site investigation carried out at Bream Street, Fish Island in April and May 2017. Sixty six test pits were monitored. The test pit sequence revealed that natural gravel survived at varying depths below the ground, perhaps indicating scouring of the gravel by the River Lea, or small eyots within the Lea. Above the gravel was a sequence of lower alluvium, peat and upper alluvium. All interventions were sealed by post-medieval and modern made ground, mostly created by ground raising episodes to allow development on the site in the post-medieval and modern periods. |
