Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was commissioned by Ubique Architects, on behalf of their clients McCulloch Homes Limited, in preparation for the proposed development of the land comprising the construction of three, three storey buildings, to provide 24 residential apartments with associated parking and landscaping. A total of three archaeological trenches, measured between approximately 20.85 and 25.40m in length, were excavated. No significant archaeological remains were identified. There was no evidence for prehistoric, Romano-British, or medieval activity, through in situ archaeological cut features, deposits or artefacts Significantly this included no evidence for activity that could be associated with the nearby establishment in Bromley of settlement within the medieval period. A seemingly intact geological horizon was present across the complete exposed areas of the evaluation trenches; this confirmed that the natural geology of the site was marine gravel and sand of the Harwich Formation, a sedimentary bedrock. This was sealed by cultivated or developed/accumulated agricultural or horticultural soil horizons; possibly forming as early as the late sixteenth-century, and intensified during the eighteenth-, nineteenth- and twentieth-centuries. These deposits as not considered significant; but attest to the PDA falling with the area of the post-medieval Glebe and remained as open ground until the development of the Victorian terraces along Tweedy Road. The results of the present works suggest the proposed development will have a minimal or negligible impact on the archaeological resource on the site. |
