Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East (ASE), the contracting division of the Centre for Applied Archaeology (CAA), Institute of Archaeology (IoA), University College London (UCL) was commissioned by Academy Consulting Solutions Ltd to undertake an archaeological evaluation at 38 King Street, Covent Garden, City of Westminster (Figure 1, NGR: TQ 3024 8089). The underlying geology comprised brickearth encountered at a depth of 18.90m OD in Test Pits 2 and 3. An Early Post-Medieval deposit containing disarticulated animal bone was identified in Test Pit 2. A large deposit of made ground prevented the natural substrate from being reached in Test Pit 1. No archaeological features relating to the Middle Anglo-Saxon town of Lundenwic were encountered during the evaluation, however Middle Anglo-Saxon archaeology is known to have survived at this level at sites in close proximity to 38 King Street, so the possibility of Middle-Saxon archaeology existing in other parts of the site cannot be ruled out. |
