Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at the proposed site of a housing development, which lay within an area where Palaeolithic and Mesolithic flints, an assemblage of Early Neolithic pottery and a Bronze Age trackway had been recorded. Other remains recorded in the surrounding area included an Iron Age coin, a Roman coin, a 9th century coin hoard and a medieval house. During the evaluation, a ceramic land drain was noted and a deposit of peat, provisionally interpreted as the Bronze Age Tilbury IV horizon, was observed. This had been sealed by a deposit of alluvial silt, indicating that prior to the reclamation of the area at around the turn of the century, the north-western half of the site had been occupied by a small rivulet running into the Thames from the high ground to the south. It was recommended that a sample of peat taken during the evaluation should be radiocarbon dated. [AIP] |
