Abstract: |
Two phases of archaeological work were carried out at 35 Soho Square, 13-14 Dean Street, City of Westminster prior to redevelopment of the site. The phase 1 evaluation works were carried out in 2013. Test Pits 2, 3, 5 and Geotechnical Pits AP6 and AP7 uncovered a series of walls dating to the late 17th to early 18th Century. The evaluation found the rear wall of a building adjacent to the garden, at the west of a house facing onto Soho Square. The discovery was overlaid onto the Ogilby and Morgan Map of 1681-2 and matched the wall lines on the map. This report refers to a second phase of investigation carried out over two days (3rd and 23rd July 2018) during the excavation of a lift pit. A large, oval pit of post-medieval (late 18th date) appeared to have cut a yard surface of red brick which may have been dated to a slightly earlier phase of house building. Both features cut the natural River Terrace sands and gravels below. |
