Abstract: |
Border Archaeology (BA) was instructed by Rajan Patel Esq on behalf of DB Planners Ltd to carry out a programme of Archaeological Field Evaluation at No. 26 (Links Cottage) Galsworthy Road Kingston-upon-Thames London KT2 7BS in connection with the demolition of an existing two-storey detached dwelling and site levelling followed by construction of two three-storey properties with full basements. The aim was principally to determine the presence and condition of a 16th Century conduit consisting of a section of lead piping forming part of the original Hampton Court Palace Water Works, which was thought to cross the southeast portion of the site. It has been established that survival of the Tudor pipework is variable, with centuries of repair and replacement creating a 'patchwork of many different periods' (Lindus Forge 1959, 3-14). Of the two trenches opened, Trench 001 was aligned north-northwest-south-southeast and measured 5.70m × 2.80m to a maximum depth of 2.15m at the base of a sondage. No features or deposits of archaeological interest were revealed.Trench 002 ran east-west and measured 6.10m × 1.55m × c.0.90m and contained a ditch aligned on the projected course of the 16th Century water pipe. The ditch contained a section of ceramic field drain in the backfill but no evidence for the conduit, suggesting that while the ditch itself may well represent the original pipe trench, this had subsequently been reopened and the lead piping removed, to be replaced by the later ceramic drain. |
