Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation took place during October 2005 on former allotments at Hedgemans Road, Dagenham. The evaluation comprised 23 trenches spread over an area of some two hectares. North-south ditches were found in two trenches near the western edge of the site and may in fact have been part of the same feature. Where a full ditch profile was visible the ditch was shown to be asymmetrical with a possible bank to the east. The dating and function of the ditches was unclear, but they may have been associated with Gale Street Farm, formerly located to the west of the site. A tentative late medieval or post-medieval date for the ditches is suggested. Elsewhere on the site the only evidence for activity was associated with the former allotments, dating from the 1930s onwards. |
