Abstract:		 This report details the results of an archaeological evaluation on land north of Bagley's Spring, Chadwell Heath, London Borough of Barking and Dagenham RM6 5LD. Six evaluation trenches were excavated across the site. Trench 1, situated in the west of the site, measured 10m by 1.8m and the other trenches measured 20m by 1.8m. All of the trenches were excavated to a depth of approximately 1.2m. The trenches demonstrated that the natural topography of the site sloped from the north-east down towards the south and centre of the site, where the discovery of an undated waterlogged, peaty deposit (in Trenches 2, 3 and 5) indicated that this part of the site had once been marshy and was possibly the site of a spring, or the route of the spring water through the site. Evidence of the site's post-medieval agricultural function was provided by the discovery of plough soil deposits, identified in Trenches 4 and 6, and a mole drain in Trench 6. A layer of 20th century made ground, observed in all of the trenches, was found to be 0.25m thick at the east of the site, while in the centre it was over a metre thick. It is suggested that the natural undulating topography of the site was levelled off during the 1950s when the Marks Gate estate was constructed, using the upcast from the new estate. No archaeological artefacts dating to earlier than the post-medieval period were found during the evaluation. The peaty deposits recorded in Trenches 2, 3 and 5, were undated, but may have related to an earlier period.
