Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation at Gascoigne East (Phase 1), St Ann's Road, Barking, London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, was undertaken between 8/12/2014 and 19/12/2014. Nine trenches, two of which were split into two halves to avoid services and two test pits were excavated across the study area. The site is located within a locally designated Archaeology Priority Area and lies circa 500m to the east of the River Roding. Excavations revealed the natural deposits in the north of the site to be terrace gravels and in the south to be brickearth. Several prehistoric deposits were encountered during the investigations. One sherd of prehistoric pottery, one Bronze/Iron Age flint scraper and some burnt flint were retrieved during the works. A group of six north to south aligned postholes of possible medieval/post-medieval date was excavated in the north of the study area. Two cut features of a similar date were recorded in section. Deposits of medieval/post-medieval ploughsoil material was noted capping the terrace gravels in the northwest of site. Evidence of the former 19th/early 20th century traces and their demolition was seen throughout the site, particularly in the south where the impact was more severe. |
