Abstract:		 Following previous work relating to World War II defences within the Olympic Park (OL-01907/OL-08007 Standing building survey MoLAS-PCA), Museum of London Archaeology and Pre-Construct Archaeology (MOLA-PCA) were commissioned by the Olympic Delivery Authority to analyse and record further structures relating to a World War II anti-aircraft gun emplacement. All the structures were to be demolished in order to redevelop the site, and the archaeological investigation and a subsequent report were required as a condition of planning consent for the redevelopment. The investigation was undertaken from September to October 2009. Two concrete gun platforms, a concrete service road linking the platforms, part of the inner control post and four foundation slabs for associated nissen huts were recorded. Post-war the gun emplacement was re-developed as a storage depot which was later replaced by a Civil Defence training ground in 1954. A large concrete slab and fence post that may relate to these periods were also recorded. The civil defence training ground was closed in 1968, the buildings were partially demolished and the area used as a dumping ground during the early 1970's which resulted in the ground level being raised another 3m, covering the whole of the gun emplacement.
