Abstract:		 Eight evaluation trenches were excavated across Henniker's Ditch along its length and the results have helped to refine the initial assessment of its archaeological potential. The trenches were excavated to the formation level of the proposed culvert. The earliest deposits recorded were Late Pleistocene river terrace gravel associated with the River Lea, overlain by early Holocene fluvial sand and gravel, both sloping gradually to the southeast. The latter deposit was thought to relate to a possible earlier course of the Channelsea or Leyton Rivers, possibly located to the southeast of the western end of the ditch. These deposits were overlain by between 0.60m and 1.1m of alluvium, thought to have accumulated gradually over time due to seasonal flooding. The earliest recorded cutting of Henniker's Ditch was cut through this deposit, dated to the second half of the 18th century. The ditch gradually silted up, but was also perhaps responsible for the formation of a relict pastoral topsoil recorded overlying the alluvium and the edges of the ditch. The ditch was re-cut in the second half of the 19th century; two possible tributary ditches adjoining the northern edge of the ditch were also recorded relating to this phase. A third re-cut was associated with the deposition of substantial amounts of made ground across the site during the 1950s to 70s to create the existing Lea Valley Cycleway.
