Abstract: |
The archaeological works consisted initially of a precise total station location survey of archaeological features and structures previously identified on this part of the foreshore. This locational information allowed the main contractor to locate proposed boreholes and legs of the barge used for coring, away from these archaeological features. The archaeological watching brief was then undertaken on five boreholes. In addition a previously unknown structure, probably relating to a former jetty, was observed to the side of the legs of the barge. This was subsequently recorded and surveyed. The survey recorded previously identified features and some not obviously noted before, though all appeared to be of 19th- to 20th-century date and associated with moorings, jetties and boat remains.The watching brief on the boreholes identified a general sequence of river silts overlying sands and gravels, which overlay the London Clay. |
