Abstract: |
Rour evaluation trenches were excavated on the site. The site has been heavily truncated by 19th century activity down to the natural gravels and clay in three of the four trenches examined. in the fourth trench 18th century garden soils sealed an undated ditch. On the north part of site truncation by 19th century date pitting and levelling and make-up deposits was recorded in association with contemporary drains and cess pits which relate to the development of Victoria Street and West Ham Lane. The truncated remains of an earlier north-south aligned ditch remained below this sequence but was undated. The more southerly part of the site revealed 18th century gardens soils. A large east-west ditch was found beneath this sequence which had been backfilled, however the early fills of this ditch were again undated. The south-western area of site investigated revealed present basements truncated all archaeological deposits down to natural alluvial clay, relating to the edge of the floodplain of the River Lea. |
