Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out at the site of Lymington Fields School and playing fields in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham. The evaluation was implemented because of the potential for archaeological remains on the site. The site does not contain any scheduled monuments or listed buildings, and there have been no previous archaeological excavations. A desk-based assessment of the site and surrounding area concluded that the archaeological potential was moderate to low. Cartographic and documentary evidence indicated that the site had been under cultivation from the medieval period to the construction of the school in 1928. The objectives of the evaluation were to establish the presence or absence of archaeological remains, and to determine the nature, extent, date and significance of any such remains as were present. A total of twenty-three trenches were excavated. The results of the evaluation confirm that land-use in the playing fields area has been confined to agriculture since the medieval period, with no evidence of archaeological activity on the site prior to that period. The findings of the evaluation consisted of two probable boundary ditches of 18th or 19th century origin, which are worthy of record but do not require further investigation. |
