Abstract: |
The watching brief revealed a layer of natural sandy gravel, thought to represent Lynch Hill gravel, at the base of the sequence (Phase 1). This sloped downwards in the direction of the River Thames to the south. It was sealed by a layer of humic rich disturbed natural that may represent the base of an early post-medieval agricultural horizon. This was truncated by early to mid-17th century pitting, which probably represents quarrying for natural sand and gravel (Phase 2). Sealing the pits was made ground, which raised and levelled the area so that buildings and external property boundaries could be constructed during the mid to late 17th century. A cess pit or well was also identified in an external yard, which may date to the mid to late 18th century (Phase 3). Another episode of ground raising and levelling then occurred before more walls and associated features were constructed during the late 18th to 19th century (Phase 4). The entire sequence was sealed by 20th century made ground (Phase 5). |
