Abstract: |
In June 2011, Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out an archaeological deskbased assessment of land at St Joseph's Primary School, The Broadway, Barking, Essex, IG11 7AR. The assessment was carried out on behalf of the client in support of a proposed planning application to construct new single-storey classrooms. On the basis of the known archaeological evidence, the site has only a low potential for Romano-British remains and a moderate potential for prehistoric archaeology. It has a high potential for Anglo-Saxon and later remains. The site has been subject to two previous archaeological investigations, but they revealed only 19th century or negative evidence. Mid Saxon loom weights are recorded to have been found within the centre of the site, whilst its northern boundary was formed by the medieval road or tenement of Heath Street. Documentary, pictorial and cartographic sources consistently confirm that the site has been occupied by a high density of residential dwellings partially constituting the town centre of Barking until the post World War II period. The structures were all demolished and razed to make way for the development of St Joseph's Primary School, which dates to the 1960s. |
