Summary
Non Technical Summary Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by HTA Architects (the Client) to undertake an archaeological evaluation on land at St. Martins Estate, Roupell Road, Tulse Hill, London Borough of Lambeth (the Site) centred on NGR 530871/173400. The evaluation comprised of four 2.2m x 4m trenches. Three trenches were excavated to the north of Roupell Road (Area A) and one was excavated to the south of Roupell Road (Area B). The report concludes that the Site has been subject to significant modern disturbance and truncation as a result of the construction of Tillman House and subsequent landscaping of the area. The construction of the former Council Offices on Site had also significantly disturbed the Site. No significant archaeological deposits, structures or artefacts were uncovered during the evaluation. The evaluation produced no evidence of activity associated with the Early Saxon site at Upper Tulse H School. Although the evaluation found that a prominent mound in Area A was man made. It also showed that it was essentially modern in date. The mound was seen to be made up of layers modern dumping, which appear to been laid down during the construction of Tillman House and subsequent landscaping of the area. Undisturbed geological deposits comprising yellowish orange sandy clays were encountered in all four trenches at a height of between 53.77m above Ordnance Datum (aOD) and 52 92m aOD. The lack of archaeological remains or artefacts uncovered during the evaluation, suggest that little or no significant archaeological remains are present within the proposed development area. iii Acknowledgements-----------------------------
