Border Archaeology (BA) has been instructed by Artworks Creekside 2 LLP to produce an Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment (ADBA) in connection with the proposed redevelopment of No. 2 Creekside, Deptford, London SE8 4SA. This ADBA assesses the impact of the proposed development on archaeological (buried) remains. It forms an initial stage of investigation of the proposal site and may be required in relation to the planning process, so that the local planning authority can formulate an appropriate response in the light of the impact upon any known or potential heritage assets, defined as parts of the historic environment considered significant because of their historic, evidential or aesthetic and/or communal interest. The archaeological potential of the Site has been assessed in overall terms as Moderate to High with particular reference to encountering archaeological remains of medieval and post-medieval date, particularly associated with wharves and industrial activity, as well as remains of a 19th century theatre building. The potential for prehistoric and Romano-British remains has been assessed as Moderate. Recommendations: It is BA's considered opinion that, prima facie, the archaeological potential of the Site does not present an impediment to the proposed development. Given the Moderate to High potential of the Site in archaeological terms, it is suggested that an appropriate programme of site investigation and recording, the details to be agreed with the Greater London Archaeological Advisory Service, will be necessary to determine the extent, depth and significance of buried archaeological features and deposits within the Site.
