Abstract: |
An archaeological desk-based assessment was conducted for NPS Group ahead of proposed expansion of Mayville Primary School, Lincoln Street, Leyton, London. The area holds evidence for the Palaeolithic period, with several handaxes recorded in the study area. Bronze Age material, although sparse, has also been found. No Anglo-Saxon material is recorded in the area, but there is likely to have been a manor here in the later part of the period. The site lies in the vicinity of Harrow Green, which may be a medieval green and which could have engendered some kind of settlement along its edges. The current site may lie too far away from the green to have medieval settlement remains associated with this. The whole area is likely to have been disturbed significantly by the 19th-century developments, as has been shown in several excavations that recorded little save for the foundations of Victorian buildings and associated services. Some earlier material has survived in pockets it would seem, and there is some potential for archaeological remains to be recorded on the site. The potential for archaeological remains to be present on the site depends upon the extent to which the school buildings and earlier roads and houses have destroyed subsurface deposits. The proposed development centres on the current school building with a classroom extension and a hall extension, both of which lie in the sector of the site that once contained terraced houses and roads. It seems likely that there will be much below-ground disturbance here. |
