Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation carried out by MOLA at 259 Plaistow Road. The report was commissioned from MOLA by Gleeds on behalf of the client. In accordance with the Written Scheme of Investigation (MOLA 2020). Ten evaluation trenches were proposed in the original WSI, and six were excavated on site between the 9th and 20th March. Six trenches were distributed across the site as much as possible to get a representative sample of the archaeological survival. In all but one of the trenches, sondages to natural gravel was undertaken. The gravel was between 1.10m to 1.70m OD and consisted of clean, well sorted rounded gravel in an orange sand matrix. No archaeological features were seen. Where not truncated the gravel was overlain by a clean orange natural brick-earth. The brick-earth was truncated in the south-west of the site, with the southernmost trench having no remaining brick-earth. In the north-east, overlaying the natural orange brick-earth, was seen a thin band of alluvial brick-earth clay. Mid brown in colour, with occasion charcoal, this was interpreted as water lain and likely the result of flooding. One archaeological feature was recorded; a post-medieval channel backfilled with waste material dating to the 19th or 20th century. The site was heavily truncated by the late 19th and early 20th century industrial railway buildings. Remains of their foundations, walls and rail tracks were recorded in all the trenches.
