Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East was commissioned by Capital and Counties to undertake the archaeological evaluation and geotechnical watching brief at 11-12 Floral Street, Covent Garden, Westminster, in order to assess the archaeological potential of the site pre planning application. The archaeological evaluation comprised the excavation of 5 Archaeological Pits (AP) and 6 Geotechnical Test Pits (TP). Archaeological remains were observed within AP5, in the form of the base of a post medieval red brick wall and the base of a deep cut post medieval pit. Natural sands and gravels were located within the north-west of the site (TP4) at 19.42m OD. Overlying the sands and gravels was natural brickearth, horizontally truncated by the existing building, which was observed at 19.49m OD within the north-east corner of the site (TP3), rising up to 20.15m OD within the north-west of the site (TP4). The brickearth was also observed in AP5 at a height of 20.01m OD, and TP5 at 20.06m OD. |
