Abstract: |
On the 12th of October 2021 Compass Archaeology Ltd. undertook an archaeological evaluation on land adjacent to No.2 Birley Road, in the London Borough of Barnet, N20 0EZ.. The evaluation was commissioned due to the site's location within an Area of Archaeological Significance. The evaluation comprised a single 8.9m trench being dug within the southern half in the existing site representing the footprint of the proposed development. The works exposed natural geology in the form of sterile clay and remnants of overlying gravels the latter having been subject to quarrying in the post-medieval period evidenced by the presence of pits [4], [9] and [11] across the trench. The whole site had also been reduced by up to 0.50m judging by the exposed concrete post holes around the boundary of the site in the recent past. In light of the on-site observations it is clear that the historic land surfaces have been removed wholesale and only post-medieval activity in the form of quarry pitting is present on the site survives. |
