Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	The Museum of London Archaeology Service and Pre-Construct Archaeology (MoLAS-PCA) were commissioned by the Olympic Delivery Authority to analyse and record the built structures relating to two World War II defence sites; one immediately to the south of Quartermile Lane, within and to the north of Manor Garden Allotments (OL-01907), and one on the Greenway bridge over the River Lea, by Old Ford Locks (OL-08007). All of the structures were to be demolished or altered in order to redevelop the site, and the archaeological investigation and a subsequent report were required as a condition of planning consent for the redevelopment. The investigation was undertaken in three phases and took place periodically from March - September 2007. The buildings around Manor Allotments comprise two gun platforms, a possible cordite room, a magazine (all with associated poured concrete paving), a possible Bofor gunsite, three pillboxes, a radar station and a possible Incendiary Bomb and Pyrotechnic Store. The items on the Greenway comprise a further pillbox with associated tank-traps. The oldest structural remains date to 1938, when the gun emplacement was constructed. The pillboxes and other structures were all constructed between 1941 and 1943.
