Abstract: |
A three trench archaeological evaluation was undertaken on 3rd and 4th July 2017 on the recreation ground of Crownfield School, Romford. Trenches 1 and 2 recorded four areas of bioturbation, three of which produced prehistoric material. In Trench 1 a worked flint flake was recovered from an irregularly shaped depression (in the west of the trench) as was a sherd of prehistoric pottery from a similar feature at the east end. In Trench 2 a small, sub-oval depression produced several sherds of prehistoric pottery which displayed un-abraded edges. The areas of bioturbation contained a light grey, clayey silt that was in opposition to the surrounding orange-coloured clay-with-gravel natural geology. The putative interpretation was for ground clearance of tree or shrubs in preparation for settlement activities located on the gravel terraces on the east bank of the River Rom. |
