Abstract: |
A programme of geoarchaeological investigations (incorporating two new geoarchaeological boreholes and monitoring of geotechnical investigations) was carried out in order to clarify the nature of the sub-surface stratigraphy and to evaluate the potential of the sedimentary sequences for reconstructing the environmental history of the site and its environs. Within the site a sequence of Lea Valley Gravel is recorded overlain by variable thicknesses of Holocene Alluvium (in places containing Peat), in turn overlain by Made Ground. The Gravel surface lies at between ca. 10.5 and 12.5m OD, the highest Gravel surfaces recorded in the northwest (11.5 to 12.5m OD) and falling towards the northeast and south (10.5 to 11.5m OD). Peat was recorded in selected boreholes either directly overlying the Gravel or the Lower Alluvium. The Peat is generally between 0.07 and 0.41m thick (with the exception of BGS borehole TQ39NE191, where it is recorded as 0.76m thick) and is recorded at elevations between ca. 10.68 and 12.91m OD. |
