Abstract:
Work on a new drainage run and lift pit was monitored by MOLA at the Flower Cellars Buildings, Wellington Street, Covent Garden between May 2011 and July 2011 during redevelopment of the building. An early archaeological deposit of redeposited brickearth was recorded in the north-east area of the site. The base of a cut feature, probably a pit dating to the Middle Saxon period was recorded at the west of the site. A large fragment of chaff-tempered ware pot was recovered from the fill of this pit, possibly a cauldron foot or the base pedestal lamp which dates to the Middle Saxon period. Later post-medieval deposits, probably early 19th century in date were recorded at the north-west of the site and relate to activity pre-dating the existing building. What is thought to be natural brickearth, probably truncated, was observed at 16.40m OD at the west of the site, and truncated gravels were recorded at 15.86m OD in lift pit excavations at the east of the site. The highest survival of archaeological deposits occurred at 16.40m OD.
