Abstract: |
Two evaluation trenches were excavated by Wessex Archaeology on the site of a former warehouse. No archaeological features were observed and no finds were recovered. A sequence of alluvial clays and organic peats overlying sands and gravels was exposed beneath 1m of modern disturbance which had removed evidence of any former topsoil; the sequence was sampled. It appears that the site was wetland and marshland until drainage and the development of Canning Town were undertaken in the 19th century. |
