Abstract:		 Archaeology South-East was commissioned by CgMs on behalf of their client to undertake an archaeological evaluation on land at the former Plaistow Hospital, Samson Street, London Borough of Newham, in advance of the redevelopment of the site. Six archaeological evaluation trenches, each measuring 20.00m by 1.80m were excavated on the site to reveal the underlying Taplow Gravels at a maximum elevation of 6.00m OD in the southeast corner of the site (Trench 6) falling away to 5.76m OD to the northeast (Trench 2) and 5.60m OD to the west (Trench 1), with a minimum height of 4.90m OD recorded in Trench 3. The earliest archaeological activity identified on the site dates to the 18th-19th century and includes a north-south field boundary, which appears on the 1869 Ordnance Survey map of the site, and a small rectangular pit, both of which were located towards the centre of the site. The remaining archaeological features identified date to the 19th century and include a large probable gravel quarry towards the centre of the site and an extensive but shallow feature in the northeast corner. Both appear to be infilled during groundworks associated with the construction of Plaistow Hospital at the end of the 19th century. These features were sealed by layers of recent made ground, measuring up to 1.60m deep which re also likely to be related to the construction of the hospital on the site. The absence of any soil horizons in any of the excavated trenches indicates a degree of horizontal truncation across the site.
