Abstract: |
The site close to the River Rom alongside previous archaeological investigations in the Romford area The investigation revealed that a sequence of the London Clay, fluvial sands and gravels, peat, alluvium and made ground / topsoil. The palaeotopography demonstrated that the fluvial sands and gravels dipped towards the North where a culvert is currently positioned. The peat yielded well preserved wood, seeds and hazelnuts, and assessment revealed that environmental remains can be associated with mature fen woodland. No artefactual or ecofactual evidence was found in association to suggest human activity. Radiocarbon dating of the peat showed that it had formed during the Neolithic. The only archaeological feature comprised a NNE-SSW aligned drainage ditch which contained ceramic building material datable to the 16th to 18th centuries. |
