Abstract: |
Pre-Construct Archaeology was commissioned by Rebecca Newman to carry out an archaeological evaluation at the Bricklayers Arms, 32 Waterman Street, Wandsworth. The Bricklayer's Arms public house dates back to the 1820s. It is locally listed and located within a Conservation Area as well as an archaeological priority area. Planning permission has been granted for demolition of rear additions and erection of a new rear extension and erection of an apartment building with basement adjacent to the main public house. A condition attached to the planning permission requires archaeological evaluation and building recording. The proposed development is to be done in two phases with Phase 1 comprising the construction of the apartment building to the west of the public house. The Phase 1 evaluation was carried out in October 2017 and involved the excavation of a 2m square test pit. The site is situated within an area of the known Roman settlement at Putney. The archaeological evaluation uncovered in situ remains of 19th century walls. Nineteenth century pottery sherds and glass fragments were recovered from deep silty clay deposits in the test pit. Residual finds included an early 18th century clay pipe bowl and an abraded 17th/18th century brick. No significant archaeological horizons or artefacts were found in the test pit although it was not fully excavated to the top of natural geological deposits despite a sondage being dug to 1.9m BGL (below ground level). Two geotechnical boreholes within the site encountered Kempton Park Gravel Formation at 2.2 and 2.5m BGL. |
