Abstract: |
Wardell Armstrong Archaeology were commissioned by Estates and Agency Ltd, to undertake a desk-based assessment and archaeological evaluation at Abbey Retail Park, Barking and Dagenham, London (NGR TQ 4390 8390). A pre-construction assessment of the presence, significance and intensity of potential archaeological deposits across the development site was established as a requirement with the case officer, Charles Sweeny. The work is required as the site lies nearby heritage designations of the scheduled remains of Barking Abbey and Barking town center conservation area and therefore, the redevelopment of the Abbey Retail Park, Barking has a high potential for disturbance to and removal of significant archaeological remains dating from the prehistoric period through to the medieval period during the redevelopment. The archaeological evaluation was undertaken over 21 days between the 11th March 2014 and 8th April 2014. The evaluation involved the excavation of 10 trenches, totalling 392.65m2, 1.64% of the development area. Possible archaeological remains were identified in Trenches 3 and 4b, in the form of truncated ditches on a broad east - west orientation. No dating evidence was recovered from the features, however a 13th - 14th Century AD date may be attributed to the ditches in Trench 4b as ceramic was recovered from a 19th century pit which truncated the ditch fills. |
