The main archaeological issues directly concerning the site are: i) The position of the site directly overlying the line of a possible Romano- British/Saxon road. Observations made by Stow in 1595 record the line of a street on the north side of Fleet Street immediately west of St. Dunstan’s. A continuation of this line would run directly through the present development site. ii) The [...]

Subjects: Desk-Based Assessment

Overall, a moderate to high potential has been identified for the existence and survival of archaeological deposits within the Study Area. There is no known recorded archaeology within the Site footprint, but this is probably due to the Site having been under arable cultivation prior to the mid 19th century through to today. Predicted archaeology on the Site is likely to be limited to evidence of [...]

The Study Area contains minimal archaeological evidence for any period and it is unlikely that there was any significant human activity on the Site before the Postmedieval period. The most significant events within the Study Area have been the construction of major communications and transport routes: the Grand Union Canal (1805), the London and North Western Railway (1846) and the North Circular [...]

Diving investigations concentrated on an assessment of the wreck itself, supported by a photographic and video survey. A measured plan of the remains was produced. Two anomalies close to the site were also investigated, with one proving to be a corroded metal buoy and the other being a metal object of unknown function but not considered to be a part of the vessel. The hull structure was [...]

The evaluation comprised an extensive geophysical survey and six trenches.

The DBA comprises principally an appraisal of records held by the Greater London Sites and Monuments (GLSMR) record. It also assesses the cartographic evidence, the historical background of the Site and the impact of previous land use. Due to the Site being an area of woodland for most of its history there is a low potential for deposits containing pre-19th century archaeological remains to be [...]
