Brunswick Court, Southwark.
TQ 3340 7975; (Tim Carew); evaluation; June 1997; Weltonvale Ltd; BNK97
The site lies on the southern edge of the Horsleydown Eyot and the evaluation trench
revealed gravel at 0.2m OD overlain by waterlain sand at up to 0.65m OD. The latter
contained a small amount of redeposited human material including Prehistoric pottery
fragments and burnt and struck flints. The earliest features exposed were a posthole and a
ditch which may have been of Roman date.
The excavations revealed that during the Post Medieval period the site was divided by a
N-S line of stakeholes with a drainage ditch to the east and a number of linear features
(for industrial use) to the west. These were sealed by several Post Medieval and modern
make-up layers.
