Abstract: |
A watching brief was carried out on the excavation of a pipeline trench running 1.5km from Leyton Road to Forest Lane, via Windmill Lane. Natural gravel was observed across most of the site and was generally sloping down to the W. Archaeological deposits and features were recorded in various sections throughout the length of the pipeline trench. These comprised a late-18th- to mid-19th-century brick drain in the vicinity of Maryland Station near the centre of the trench; a possible ditch or pit (probably of 18th or 19th century date) in Leyton Road, in the W part of the trench; and a potential disturbed alluvial deposit in the vicinity of Forest Lane and Idmiston Road junction, in the E part of the trench. Over this, where not removed by the basements, lay at least 0.6m of made ground. This mostly consisted of late 19th-century deposits used to raise the general ground level and later road surfaces. |
