Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at Rawalpindi House, Hermit Road, London Borough of Newham E16 4PZ. The archaeological evaluation demonstrated that organic Holocene peat deposits survived under the alluvial clay deposits and made ground. Evidence of possible prehistoric activity was recorded in Trench 4 where a number of well preserved small branches of brushwood mixed with a number of other smaller branches and straw like material were unearthed. This deposit was interpreted as part of a possible ephemeral trackway or part of a temporary campsite or hunting site probably dating to the prehistoric period. More evidence for human activity was observed in Trench 5 where a cut feature sealed by alluvium was recorded in the south-west facing section. This cut was interpreted as a possible drainage ditch. The archaeological evaluation showed that post-medieval and modern activity did not affect earlier prehistoric deposits. All trenches revealed alluvial clay sealing peat deposits except to the southeast half of Trench 3 where at least the upper part of the peat layer was truncated by a large modern intrusion which extends beyond the south-east limit of excavation. Moreover, the alluvial clay acted as a protective buffer preserving the integrity and moisture of the peat deposit together with wood structures such as the prehistoric trackway.
