Abstract: |
In October 2011 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried an archaeological evaluation at the site of St Joseph's Primary School, The Broadway, Barking, Greater London (NGR TQ 4413 8375). The evaluation was commissioned by Living Architects on behalf of the Diocese of Brentwood and was undertaken in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning permission for the construction of a new two classroom unit (London Borough of Barking and Dagenham Planning Ref. 10/00343/FUL). A further application has been made for another classroom extension in the western part of the site which is anticipated to have similar condition attached to any approval. The site had a high potential for archaeological remains, in particular for the Anglo-Saxon, medieval and post-medieval archaeology. Such remains could have been related to Barking Abbey and its grounds, as well as to the medieval and later development of the town. In the event the evaluation revealed many features, particularly in Trenches 1 and 2, and evidence of extensive occupation from the medieval period onwards. The earliest features were recorded in Trench 1 and were medieval: Pit F1019 (14th - mid 16th C), Pit 1021 (12th - mid 14th C) Pit F1026 (12th - mid 14th C) and Ditch F1036 (13th - 15th C). These features also contained CBM but no other finds. The undated features were also most common in Trench 1 (Pits 1011, 1017, ?1019 and 1028, and Post Holes 1013, 1015 and F1038). The remaining features were post-medieval and mostly modern. |
