Abstract: |
Between the 24th and the 25th of April 2017, two visits were made to monitor the installation of a new double leaf vehicle gate, weldmesh fencing and the excavation of a cable trench at the Draper's Centre, Monkey Puzzle Way Carshalton SM5 4NR. Despite the works being partly located within the Scheduled Ancient Monument of the 'Late Bronze Age enclosure at Queen Mary's Hospital, Carshalton' (Scheduled Monument No: SM LO 163, HA 1003313) no prehistoric finds or featured were recovered during the course of the watching brief. Only modern made ground deposits were observed with no finds from any period recovered. The modern made ground deposits found during the course of the watching brief are thought to relate to either modern terracing in the case of gate post hole 2 (sandy silt context (7)) or the construction of the hutted classroom in the case of mid-orange-brown sandy silt (4). Context (7) was encountered approximately 200mm below ground level whilst (4) was encountered approximately 200mm below ground level as well. The mid-orange-brown sandy silt (6) in gate post hole 1 was potentially a redeposited natural, and this was encountered at a depth of 100mm below ground level. |
