Abstract: |
In December 2019 Compass Archaeology recorded three trenches excavated on the site of 171d Shooters Hill Road, in the Royal London Borough of Greenwich ahead of redevelopment of the site. The trenches were dug prior to an archaeologist being on site and as such only sections were recorded. All three trenches exposed natural geology comprised of a mixture of orange-yellow sand in the north of the site and pale-brown / grey gravels to the south from between 0.75m and 0.95m below present ground level reflecting the natural topography of the site with an upwards slope from southeast to northwest. Natural geology was overlain by thick deposits of relict gravel-rich subsoil and topsoil occasionally containing late-19th century flower pots and roof tiles representing the former ground conditions of gardens and allotments. Occasional darker silt lenses present within the subsoil were interpreted as reworked cultivation trenches relating to the same land use. These were sealed below the extant hoggin and tarmac ground surface of the former car sales site. No archaeologically significant features or deposits were observed on this occasion. |
