Abstract:
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd at Whipps Cross University Hospital A and E, Leytonstone, London Borough of Waltham Forest E11 1NR, between the between 8th-10th February 2010. The work was commissioned by RPS Planning and Development. The natural deposits encountered on site differed somewhat to what is described in the British Geological Survey. It is likely that the post-diversionary Thames river terrace gravels extend further west of the Epping Forest area than previously thought. Truncating the natural deposits were two irregularly sided linear features which have been interpreted as late post-medieval/early modern landscaping, perhaps in the form of bedding trenches for plants and flowers. It is possible that this area once formed a garden associated with the hospital, although it is equally possible that they could be features related to the gardens of the Forest House estate. It was subsequently reworked, and truncated with service related features eventually being consolidated and levelled for its present day use as a helicopter landing pad. No archaeological features or deposits pre-dating the late post-medieval period were observed in any of the trenches.
