Abstract: |
Watching brief conducted by Gloucester Gate Bridge, Camden NW1 4RY, between the 15th and 17th January 2018. The programme of archaeological works entailed the monitoring of the completion of a single trench located against the Gloucester Gate Bridge, undertaken to establish the character and extent of foundations of the aforementioned structure in order to establish the practicalities or re-routing the mains water supply ahead of the construction of the HS2 rail line. Follows on from trial trenching in the same area, monitored by Compass Archaeology in January 2017 (also ZSL17). The trench measured 2.5m x 2.5m x c1.2-1.4m in depth (33.781mOD). The observed stratigraphy comprised topsoil and subsoil overlying natural London Clay. The wall consisted of a brick structure with two stepped foundation courses, the base of which was recorded at 34.028mOD. Natural geology was encountered at c34.7mOD. No further features or finds were recorded. |
