Abstract:		 Six wooden lighters, a type of mast-less river barge, up to 18m in length and reused as the main elements in a river wall were recorded in a two trench archaeological evaluation and subsequent watching brief. Five of the lighters were swim-headed with a fore and aft bulkhead, occasionally with access hatches to the hold. Other features recorded included cross beam bracing chains, removable wooden cross beams, a winch housing, carved identification and tonnage numbers and a bow cockpit with a coil of rope on deck. All the boats showed signs of wear and may have been working on the Thames for as long as 20 years by the time they were built into the river wall in the mid-19th century. The river wall can be dated between 1843 and 1860 by cartographic evidence. The back filled lighters formed the main body of the wall with timbers shuttering rammed with chalk filling the gaps. Also recorded was the timber and concrete remains of a late 19th century wharf.
