Abstract: |
A watching brief was carried out at 22 Christchurch Hill, Hampstead, London, NW3 1LG as a condition of planning permission number 2006/2959/P for the excavation and construction of front and rear basements. The site work was carried out between April 2007 and April 2008 and consisted of two foundation trenches c.17 x 9m and c.10 x 9m which were to form the rear and front basements respectively and excavation and underpinning under the house to form a cellar. The watching brief observed the digging phase of the construction works. The excavated trenches showed a consistent and simple sequence of natural deposits being overlain by a layer of topsoil. Natural geology of sand and clay was recorded to vary in height from c101m OD at the rear to c.98m at the front. No finds were recovered and there were no discrete cut features thereby proving that there was no development on the site prior to the current building of the 1860s. |
