Abstract: |
This report details the results and working methods of an archaeological evaluation that was undertaken at 22-25 Lower Marsh, London Borough of Lambeth, SE1 7RG between 15th and 18th January 2018. Three hand dug trenches were carried out inside three of the standing buildings. The trenches were carried out at the rear of the buildings, away from the cellars located along the frontage of Lower Marsh. The evaluation established that the natural ground was likely to have been raised in the later post-medieval period. Some evidence for the former marsh and natural gravel was found. Cut into the ground raising layers were features associated with the use of the buildings shown on the historic maps from the 18thand 19th century. These features included wells, culverts and walls. No evidence for archaeological features predating the later post-medieval period was found the site, although access to the lower layers was restricted by site constraints. |
