Abstract: |
Pre-Construct Archaeology Limited undertook a watching brief during groundworks on land at 246-250 High Road, Ilford, London Borough of Redbridge. Excavation of foundation trenches and general ground reduction was monitored for the presence of archaeological deposits, and layers present were recorded. The earliest deposit recognised was natural brickearth, the top of which lay 0.55m below the surface (at 11.85m OD) at the eastern edge of the site, but had been heavily truncated by recent activity, to depths often exceeding 1.5m, elsewhere. At the eastern edge of the site, the brickearth had been truncated by the foundation cut for a brick drain. It was overlain by up to 0.30m of well-compacted, mid greyish brown gravel, which had been laid down as bedding for a Tarmacadam surface. This surface was 0.15m thick and had been overlaid by a modern deposit of moderately compacted, light greyish brown, gravely sand, up to 0.10m thick and recorded at an upper elevation of 12.40m OD. Across most of the site, however, the brickearth was overlain by substantial deposits of demolition rubble, capped with a modern piling mat. No archaeological finds or features were present. |
