Abstract: |
Two Boreholes and one Test Pit were excavated by a geotechnical contractor. The natural geology was reached within the two boreholes at a level of between 8m and 7.9m OD, and consisted of the London Clay Formation. The boreholes and test pit showed a similar stratigraphic sequence: underneath the concrete slab, a made ground layer covered alluvium sealing natural deposits of sandy gravel and London Clay. The sequence in Borehole 4 was disturbed, probably because of a nearby pillar. Archaeology was found at the surface of the layer of sandy clay at 9.70m AOD; it consisted of a possible posthole from which a single struck flint was recovered. |
