Abstract: |
The watching brief over five test pits and one bore hole followed by the supervision of ground reduction for the construction of the basement level and excavation for the installation of the crane base/lift shaft. Natural geological deposits were not reached during the archaeological investigation, although Kempton Park Gravels were noted during ground investigations from a depth of -3.89m OD. Across the site were several layers of modern material including concrete surfaces, levelling deposits and masonry. To the far east of the site a layer of buried post-medieval soil was seen within a borehole sample. During the archaeological monitoring the earliest deposit seen was alluvium, this was encountered across the entire site. |
