Abstract: |
10.1 This report details the results and working methods of an archaeological evaluation that was undertaken at 423 Barking Road, Plaistow, in the London Borough of Newham, E13 8AL (TQ 4312 8273). The evaluation demonstrated that the underlying superficial geology consisted of level brickearth, likely sealing terraced gravels. This suggested that the site was situated upon dry ground throughout the Holocene period. The site was mainly composed of post-medieval layers, with occasional cut features. Two post holes were recorded at the base of Trench 1, along with partially truncated rubbish pit in the section. A partially robbed out wall and associated features were observed running north-west to south-east in Trench 2, likely associated with the building seen on the 1893 Ordnance Survey map. A large post-medieval pit was also recorded. There were no cut features recorded in Trench 3. These post-medieval layers had been sealed by modern levelling layers and concrete when the current building was constructed |
