Abstract: |
Border Archaeology (BA) was instructed by Rothbury Road Ltd to carry out a programme of Detailed Archaeological Assessment in respect of a proposed residential development on the site of the Sulzer Dowding and Mills engineering works at 24-26 White Post Lane, Hackney Wick, Tower Hamlets, E9 5EP. The archaeological potential of the site has been assessed, in overall terms, as Low to Moderate. This reflects the limited scope of the archaeological record for this specific area and the evidence indicating that it was sparsely occupied marshland subject to episodic flooding from prehistory through to the mid-19th century. A watercourse of medieval or early post-medieval origin is marked on historic maps as extending on a NE-SW alignment across the site. Recent investigations in the immediate locality have demonstrated the potential for encountering evidence of alluvial silt and peat deposits of potentially high significance in palaeoenvironmental terms; however, it is likely that they will lie beneath deep deposits of post-medieval/modern made ground, extending to a depth of 3.5m-4m in places. |
