Abstract: |
Two large, stepped trenches measuring 23m x 6.5m and 41m x 12.2m respectively were opened up to expose the gravel terraces of the River Lea immediately adjacent to the site on the west. Late 19th century finds of a possible 'crannog' site found nearby suggested the study site might also contain prehistoric activity on the foreshore or gravel terraces. The evaluation concluded that the study area may have been on one of the higher gravel terraces although nascent peat development was evident. A single timber was discovered driven into the terrace gravels through a layer that produced several fragments of burnt daub suggesting human activity. this was sealed by thick layers of alluvium and made ground. |
