1 Old Queen Street Westminster - Archaeological Watching Brief Report

Wessex Archaeology

One of five geotechnical test pits contained evidence for the presence of riverine deposits comprising layers of peat and a second pit contained evidence of rubbish dumping dating from the medieval and Post-medieval periods. Deposits were located in two more pits but these appear to have been disturbed and no dating evidence was recovered to determine their archaeological significance. The fifth pit was excavated from a higher level and contained a considerable depth of building rubble overlying a possible brick structure and soils of unknown date.
