Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation of a site in the garden of No. 60 Hampton Road, Forest Gate, took place on the 20th February 2012. The evaluation was carried out as a condition of planning consent, prior to the construction of a new underground swimming pool, plus facilities and access, which is to be located in the southern part of the site (the rear garden) (Application No. 09/01626/HH). The site had potential for archaeological evidence of prehistoric, Roman, medieval and later activity. Historic map evidence showed that the site lay close to 'Wood Grange' monastic farm, existing from at least the 12th Century until the Dissolution, after which it continued as a farm until the 19th Century when the area was developed into the Victorian residential estate that exists today. The site was situated in an Archaeological Priority Area as defined by the London Borough of Newham Unitary Development Plan. A single trial trench was excavated; this covered approximately 11 square metres. This was positioned in the centre of the rear garden of No.60, within the proposed underground swimming pool footprint. This trench did not reveal any significant archaeological remains. The subsoil (a silty-sand) directly overlay the natural gravel and sand deposits. The only three features were a large rectangular modern feature, a probable tree-pit, and a possible gravel garden path. In view of these results it is recommended that no further archaeological measures should be undertaken in relation to the proposed redevelopment and planning condition. |
