| Abstract: |
A single trial trench was excavated as an evaluation prior to the proposed construction of a new nursery. There was evidence of prehistoric and Roman activity in the locality, including burials. The site also lay close to the historic centre of Stratford, and just to the east of West Ham Lane. No significant archaeological features or finds were present. The entire area of the trench had been truncated to a depth of up to 2m below present ground level, and natural gravels were overlain by recent made ground. A survey of map evidence indicated that the site was first developed in the later 19th century, with construction of a terrace of basemented houses. These were demolished around 1980, and the area backfilled prior to construction of a single-storey day nursery. [Au(abr)] |
