Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by RPS Planning and Development on behalf of Veolia Environmental Services Ltd to carry out an archaeological watching brief at the Southwark Integrated Waste Management Facility, Old Kent Road, London centred .on NGR 534993, 177773. The work was carried out on works comprising geotechnical test-pitting and removal of building footings prior to redevelopment. It took place between October and December 2008. No archaeological features or artefacts were found during the watching brief. The groundworks exposed a series of made-ground deposits overlying alluvial clays. The removed foundations were of considerable size and depth, and it is not considered likely that any archaeological remains could have survived beneath the buildings. The remainder of the Site may have the potential to contain archaeological remains below the made ground deposits.
