Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was carried out by Archaeology South-East at 415 Wick Lane, London Borough of Tower Hamlets, E3 2JG between the 2nd and 15th January 2018. The fieldwork was commissioned by CgMs Consulting in advance of development. Five archaeological evaluation trenches were excavated on site. Ground level on the site sloped from c.6.85m AOD in the north-west down to c.5.52m AOD in the south-east. The trenches were between 3m-4m deep, and the general site sequence consisted of c.1.5-3m of late post-medieval and modern activity, sealing up to c.2m of early post-medieval and late medieval activity in the form of red brick and chalk and Kentish Ragstone structures with associated demolition and occupation layers, as well as occasional deep cut features. Alluvial and sand and gravel deposits naturally deposited by the River Lea were observed at c.4.25m AOD within the west and 3.35m AOD within the south-east. Machine excavation through these deposits was continued as deep as possible within the prescribed health and safety requirements and reached a depth of 2.55m OD within the west and 2.05m AOD in the south-east. These layers were not sterile but contained, predominantly residual, material culture dating to the mid-late post-medieval period (Trenches 3-5), late medieval (Trenches 1-2) and Roman (Trench 2). The site was heavily contaminated with hydrocarbons and occasionally asbestos. The water table was breached in all the trenches, coming in at around 3m BGL across the site
