Abstract: |
The fieldwork followed the methodology set out within the WSI (CA 2018). An archaeologist was present during intrusive groundworks comprising a 2m x 2m observation pit (Trench 1) in the immediate flood defence to the river Thames and a 2m x 3m observation pit (Trench 2) 14m to the south of this. An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology during investigative geotechnical groundwork at the outfall section associated with the construction of a 1.2km surface water/wastewater pipeline (Final Effluent Rising Main) running from the tunnel at Craylands Lane in the south-west, to the River Thames in the north (Swanscombe, Kent). No features or deposits of archaeological interest were observed during groundworks, and no significant artefactual material pre-dating the post-medieval period was recovered. An initial walkover of the intertidal zone was also undertaken at low tide but no significant ‘in situ’ timbers were identified. |
