Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East (ASE), a division of the University College London Institute of Archaeology Centre for Applied Archaeology have been commissioned by CgMs Consulting on behalf of their client, Ashill Developments to undertake a programme of archaeological evaluation on the land west of Williams Lane, Mortlake, in advance of the construction of 17 houses, 2 blocks of flats and associated services and amenities. [Site centred TQ 201 760] A total of 10 trenches, totalling some 200m of trenching, were excavated across the site. The underlying natural sand was encountered between 5.41m OD in the far southeast of the site [Trench 8] and 5.66m OD in the western extreme of the site [Trench 1]. Archaeological features were encountered in six of the excavated trenches. Possible medieval activity is suggested by medieval pottery sherds in a pit in the west of the site [Trench 2]. Post medieval activity is focussed largely in the east of the site, [Trenches 4, 5 and 7] in the form of pits and plough furrows. Modern building foundations in the south and south east [Trenches 6,8,9 and 10].The archaeological horizon is sealed by between 0.65m and 0.95m of Made ground. With the greatest depths of made ground being recorded in the southern central parts of the site [Trench 9]. |
