Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at Vicarage Primary School, Vicarage Lane, Newham, E6 6AD. The work was carried out by Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd from the 21st to the 25th February. It was project managed by Gary Brown of Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd and supervised by the author. Three trenches were excavated during the evaluation. The earliest deposit encountered consisted of a layer of natural terrace gravel sealed by a layer of brickearth. These naturally derived sediments were covered by a potential subsoil in Trenches 2 and 3 and by a thick deposit of post-medieval made ground in Trench 1. A brick culvert of late post-medieval date was also unearthed in Trench 1, along with the foundations of one or more brick buildings of a similar date. These walls may form part of the vicarage or an associated outbuilding that historic records indicate was built on the site in 1831. At least one wall post-dating 1831 was found, suggesting that the structure was modified at a later date. A post-medieval ditch was observed in Trench 2, which truncated the subsoil, and a potential posthole was also recorded in Trench 3. |
