Abstract: |
PCA carried out an archaeological evaluation at Bream Street at the junction of Stour Road and Dace Road, Fish Island, London. The site was located within the London Borough of Tower Hamlets and was centred at TQ 37300 84035. Natural Kempton Park River Terrace Gravels were identified from 2.6m OD to 1.97m OD with some natural variation across the site. The natural gravels were sealed by natural alluvial deposits. A north-south aligned ditch, which had been cut into the lower alluvium, was noted in Trench 2. This ditch was investigated at further points across the site as part of a mitigation exercise, and proved to continue beyond the northern and southern extremities of the site. The ditch was of 19th century date and was lined with a felt or plant-based mat pegged in place with wooden stakes. It may have represented an industrial feature or be part of the water management of the area that took place in the 18th and 19th century. There was no evidence for the leats shown on the site on the first edition Ordnance Survey map, although extensive truncation had taken place in the upper levels of the site which might have affected the survival of these features. |
