Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken on the site of Roman Road Primary School, London Borough of Newham, before the expansion of the school involving the construction of three new buildings. This evaluation was carried out following the compilation of a desk-based assessment of the site, which highlighted the potential for early (prehistoric and Roman) remains to be uncovered. English Heritage then recommended a pre-development trial trench evaluation to be carried out on the site. The evaluation uncovered no finds, features or deposits, of archaeological significance. The exposed stratigraphy simply consisted of modern playground / grass surface, overlying a dump of brick and concrete rubble (associated with the 20th century development of the site), over a thin band of dark grey silty-clay (an earlier subsoil), over the natural orange clay deposit. The only feature of interest was the culverted stream exposed in the eastern part of trench 3. This stream ran along the western edge of the site until the mid-20th century, when the site was developed and stream culverted. |
