Abstract: |
On the 8th and 9th February 2018 Compass Archaeology conducted an Archaeological Evaluation on the site of 40 Station Road, Colliers Wood, London Borough of Merton SW19 2LP. The work was commissioned by Jomas Associates on behalf of the landowner, as part of a pre-commencement condition attached to an approved application to redevelop the site (ref.15/P1156). The evaluation comprised two trenches targeted over several cut water filled features which appear on 19th century cartographic sources, and probably associated with the medieval complex of Merton Priory which stood in the immediate vicinity of the site. The trenches measured 10-12m in length x 1.8-2m in width x 2.55-2.8m in depth. The investigation recorded two gravel pads in Trench 1, taken to foundation pads for a medieval wall associated with the Priory complex. These were truncated by a later water filled cut feature, the homogeneous early-20th century infilling of which was recorded towards the western end of the trench. Trench 2 recorded a series of post-medieval levelling / dumping layers over natural gravel (recorded at 11.36mOD), but no traces of the water features. |
