Abstract:		 A five trial trench evaluation was undertaken by Britannia Archaeology Ltd at The Rifles Public House, Swan and Pike Road, Enfield Lock, London (NGR TQ 37189 98364) in September 2013. The greatest potential for surviving archaeological remains were believed to be buildings associated with the rifle factory of Post-medieval date. The evaluation revealed five phases of activity, the earliest of which is represented by a layer of gravel river bed associated with the River Lea. No archaeological phases earlier than the post-medieval were present on site, and the second phase is represented by Wild Marsh that is named by the 14th century, suggesting that the land here was used for pasture. The third phase is demolition and site levelling, these events probably took place at approximately the same time. Both the school and three cottages were demolished and then levelled, forming a variety of layers that were present in all of the trenches. Remains of the construction phase have been recorded and comprise a school constructed in 1846 and an 1830's row of cottages on the north-western corner of the site. The most recent phase relates to two modern surface layers starting with an earlier concrete surface and then a car park surface of Tarmacadam which still survives at the top of the stratigraphic sequence today.
