Abstract: |
Border Archaeology Ltd (BAL) was instructed to carry out a programme of Archaeological Field Evaluation and Geoarchaeological Investigation and Sampling of land at Nos. 33-35 Monier Road Bow London E3 2PR with respect to proposed residential development. The evaluation was conducted on open ground which had previously been occupied by post-medieval housing until the 1960s, followed by industrial premises. The industrial premises were reduced to rubble in May 2016. No evidence of the earlier housing was revealed during the demolition. Made ground deposits in excess of 3.6m depth were identified in the trenches, many of these were tilted to form possible tip lines. No features or deposits of archaeological significance were identified during the evaluation. The borehole survey carried out in conjunction with the trial trenches found made up ground to 4m to 4.5m below ground level. Below this was a natural sequence of marsh and alluvial deposits over the bedrock which was found at -4.25m AOD (i.e. 11m below present ground level). These deposits contained well-preserved organic matter which yield two radio carbon dates, and a pollen and diatom sequence which was partially analysed to give a broad history of the development of the surrounding landscape of the Lea Valley.
