Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was conducted at 1 Varcoe Road, Southwark SE16 3DG on 21-22 and 28-29 of June, 2018. The initial proposed trench had to be abandoned due to hydrocarbon contamination, so two others were excavated in its stead. The excavated trenches revealed gravelly sand overlain by a lower alluvium, peat, and an upper alluvium; these layers were sealed by made ground and concrete. The layers sloped down and became thicker to the south, with the top of the peat at -0.58m OD in the north and -1.01m OD in the south. The natural gravelly sands were encountered at a height of -1.38m OD. No artefacts or dating evidence was recovered. |
