Abstract:		 Compass Archaeology were commissioned to undertake an archaeological evaluation on the site of Dylon 2, land formerly known as Footzie Old Sports Ground, Worsely Bridge Road, Lower Sydenham, London Borough of Bromley, SE26 5BQ, between the 15th and 18th May 2017. This was part of a planning application process for a residential development and public park (planning ref: 17/00170/FULL1). Four test trenches measuring 6.08-6.90m long by 4.25-4.55m wide were machine excavated. A sondage was dug in the centre of each trench to a depth of 2.35-2.55m. Four geoarchaeological boreholes were taken by QUEST over the same period. The stratigraphy was generally similar across the site, comprising 0.18-0.20m of topsoil, overlying 0.65-1.03m of modern made ground. The made ground generally overlay 0.98-1.22m of alluvial clay, with natural gravels at the extent of excavation. No finds or features of archaeological interest were recovered from any of the trenches, and the boreholes found the alluvium to be of little paleoenvironmental potential. The sequence is attributed to flooding from the Pool River, depositing alluvium and rare deposits of peaty clay in natural hollows in the floodplain. The made ground was most likely deposited when the previously open floodplain land was developed into a sports field in the late 19th century. The land has since been largely abandoned. The lowest level recorded was 21.73m OD.
