Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Following the recommendations of the previous Detailed Desk-Based Assessment compiled for the Planning Delivery Zone, and subsequent consultation with the Greater London Archaeology Advisory Service (GLAAS), evaluation trenches were excavated on the site. The trenches, where possible, were excavated to the level of the natural gravels. These sandy gravel deposits were overlain by a thin layer of organic material which was sealed by an alluvial clay sequence (ranging from 0.85m to1.90m in thickness), with suggests that much of the area was waterlogged marsh environment or subject to flooding over time. Trench 4.21 produced evidence for a possible ancient channel or tributary cutting the natural gravels and then sealed beneath the overlying alluvial clay deposits. The organic fill of this feature may represent the silting or ponding of a river channel that had become isolated from the main water courses in the area. The alluvial sequence was generally sealed by a series of large 19th-20th century landfill deposits consisting of contaminated industrial and commercial waste. Features of archaeological interest included a series of water management structures recorded in trench 4.17. These features consisted of a large open timber lined channel and later additions of a large brick culvert and cast iron drain associated with the East London Waterworks Company reservoir constructed c 1847-1848. Trench 4.41 revealed dumped deposits representing either levelling or the fill of a large cut feature such as the backfilled Waterworks Canal. No finds were recovered from this trench.
