Langthorne Hospital, Leyton (LE-LH 95)
Overview
The evaluation revealed one possible boundary ditch, the fill of which appeared to be 18th century in date. A number of undated postholes were revealed, also cutting the underlying natural. Evidence was found for more recent activity, in the form of service cuts, backfill and make-up deposits from the demolition of old hospital or workhouse buildings in the later part of this century. A more recent layer of make-up material supported a tarmac surface, partially covered by modern spoil, at ground level.
