Abstract:		 One trial trench was dug prior to construction of a new school hall. The site lies south of the historic centre of West Ham and just to the southeast of the medieval Stratford Langthorne Abbey. The evaluation area was also crossed by the so-called Abbey Moat - a watercourse recorded in the 19th century but of probable monastic origin, marking the extent of the Outer Court. The lower part of the trench revealed some archaeological features/deposits, cut into and overlying natural Terrace gravel. These included the line of the Abbey moat: although the full width of the channel was not exposed its eastern side and line were recorded, and a 3.5m slot dug through the predominantly dark silty fills. However, finds from the channel indicated a mid 19th century date. The feature may be of medieval origin, but if so evidence had been removed by thorough clearing and recutting in the 1800s. This may have been a regular occurrence to maintain land drainage - before the late 19th century the surrounding surface was very low, at about 2.0m OD. The upper channel fill and a post-medieval pit were sealed by 19th century made ground deposits up to 1.2m thick - probable preparation for the construction of the School in the mid 1890s. Medieval evidence was limited to a few residual finds, including a pipkin handle in the upper made ground and a couple of peg tile fragments in 19th century channel fills.
