Abstract:		 Following the recommendations of the previous Detailed Desk-Based Assessment and subsequent consultation with the Greater London Archaeology Advisory Service, eight evaluation trenches were excavated across the north central area of PDZ3 (Work Package 2). As a result of this work it was decided that the archaeological sequence revealed within Trenches 3.35 and 3.36 was of sufficient interest to require further investigation. The result of the mitigation work has helped to refine the initial findings and so assist in our better understanding the archaeological potential of the area. The earliest phase recognized was a floodplain gravel, possibly dating from the late Pleistocene period. This gravel was overlain by a prehistoric land surface which appears to be of Late Bronze Age or early Iron Age date. Subsequent river encroachment indicates a period of increasingly wetter conditions which resulted in the deposition of both high and low energy fluvial /alluvial sediments. Following this period of river encroachment at least two phases of human activity were recognized, the first comprising the cutting of a fairly substantial ditch, the upper fills of which contained artifacts of Roman date. A second phase of activity was recognized with the construction of a timber structure, which although difficult to interpret because of later disturbance, may represent a retting pit. The later disturbance is likely to have been caused by a further phase of environmental change that appears to have resulted in the migration of a river channel, the active phase of which was recognized within the trench. Fluvial river deposits as well as overbank flood deposits characterised this active channel phase and a gradual sequence of higher energy deposition through to low energy silting and final abandonment was revealed.
