Description

Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by LRK Associates to undertake an archaeological evaluation on land at the 76-78 Park Lane and 28-31 & 35 Edridge Road in the London Borough of Croydon. The Site comprises an approximately u-shaped (subrectangular) parcel of land measuring approximately 1360m², located at National Grid Reference (NGR) 532530 165120. The Site lies within an ‘Archaeology Priority Zone’, as defined by the local authority.
The Site was deemed to have the potential to include Anglo-Saxon period burials, a number of which have been recorded in the immediate vicinity in the late 19th century and in more recent archaeological excavations. Neolithic, Bronze Age, Romano-British and medieval activity, represented by features as well as residual artefacts, have also been recorded within c. 200m of the Site.
