Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was conducted by Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd on land at 11-31 Toynbee St / 67-69 Commercial St, London E1 7NE. Natural head deposits of the Taplow Gravels were exposed in the south of site at a height of 10.33 m OD; they were overlain by the Langley Silts at a height of around 10.93m OD. In a test pit within the basement in the northern part of the site, the Langley Silt was seen at a truncated height of around 10.61m OD. In Trench 1 there was a square pit which appeared to be late 18th century in date although its function is unknown. In Trench 2 there were a number of possible midden pits likely dating from the 18th century, there was also a linear ditch which likely dated from the 16th-17th century. Although its function is unclear, it is possibly part of the field system shown on the 1682 Morgan map, or part the 'tenters' shown on the 1703 Gasgoyne map. Trench 3 and Test Pit 1 contained a features which were most likely quarry pits which would have been for the extraction of brick earth and gravel. |
