Abstract: |
The watching brief area comprised the underpinning and ground reduction associated with the downward extension of the existing basement. The excavation of 6 underpinning trenches (Trenches 1 to 6) followed by the ground reduction of the remaining deposits in the central part of the basement, revealed natural sandy gravel which was interpreted as part of the western end of the Bermondsey Eyot.The natural sands and gravels were truncated by some cut features. Of note was north-west to south-east orientated ditch cut dated to the medieval period in the southern part of the basement. This ditch was interpreted as being part of the road side ditch associated with the construction of the medieval causeway which was later superseded by modern Long Lane. The ditch was later sealed by a post-medieval layer which in turn was truncated by the groundwork associated with the construction of the existing basement and sewer drainage. |
