Abstract: |
This report presents the initial results of a geoarchaeological evaluation carried out by MOLA (Museum of London Archaeology) on the site of the proposed temporary Marketing Suite on the Ram London site (formerly the Ram Brewery). The report was commissioned from MOLA by Gardiner and Theobold on behalf of the client Greenland Ram (London) Limited. The site comprises the north eastern corner of The Ram London Site on the corner of Armoury Way and Ram Street in the London Borough of Wandsworth. Modern pavement level near to the site lies at c 5.0m OD. The centre of the site lies at National Grid reference 525673 174855. The site code is RMB14. The results of the geoarchaeological augerhole evaluation have helped to refine the assessment of the potential of the site. Sediment recovery was good in all three of the proposed augerholes with Holocene stratigraphic sequences retrieved. Initial assessment of the stratigraphy indicates the site lies on Shepperton Gravel with natural Holocene deposits of the River Wandle floodplain being preserved including possible early prehistoric soil formation and evidence of a late prehistoric to historic route of the Wandle passing through the site. |
