Abstract: |
Compass Archaeology undertook an archaeological evaluation between the 11th and 25th September 2018, ahead of the construction of a new high-rise hotel on the site at 84-86 Great Eastern Street, and 1-3 Rivington Street, EC2A 3JL. The work was commissioned as part of a condition attached to a planning application due to the site's location within the Shoreditch APA. The work comprised 3 trenches across the proposed development footprint. Trench 1 measured 10m x 2.5 x 1.2m, Trench 2 - 12 x 6.5 x 3m (stepped) and Trench 3 - 14.6 x 6.4 x 2.38m (stepped). A great number of brick features were exposed during the excavation of the three evaluation trenches. A number of walls associated with the 19th century residential occupation of the site were recorded, in addition to 6 brick lined 'well' features. Substantial remains of a brick forge or firebox was also recorded, taken to be industrial. The features all date from between c1750 and 1900 and are taken to be associated with the post-medieval occupation of the site, with one well potentially being associated with the earlier post-medieval complex of St Agnes le Clare bath house which stood on the site until 1845. Large quantities of domestic pottery, ceramic building pottery, clay tobacco pipe, animal bone and glass were also recovered. Natural geology was encountered in trenches 2 and 3 at 13.28mOD and 13.47mOD. |
