Abstract:		 This report details the results of an archaeological evaluation on land at Beam Park Riverside (Phase 2), Thames Avenue, London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, RM9 6DE. Ten trenches were excavated across the site. Natural deposits were noted in nine of the ten trenches excavated. The presence of terrace gravels was noted in two of the ten trenches This gravel dropped to the south-west and was not reached in the southern most trenches on the edge of the Thames floodplain. A complex sequence of alluvial and peat deposits were encountered in nine of the trenches excavated. Geo-archaeological trial holes were located to investigate the floodplain deposits to sample and understand the formation of the peat at the edge of the floodplain. Prehistoric timbers probably dating to the Bronze Age were found in Trench 21. It is possible that these elements could have formed a simple wooden trackway. Further peat deposits sealed these timbers. Alluvial deposits formed upper layers in all levels of the trenches excavated and were formed from the Roman period onwards. Flood deposits thought to have formed in the medieval/post-medieval period were encountered in several trenches. Modern truncation to some degree or another was encountered in all of the trenches and this was seen to be most severe down the western side of the site; where reinforced concrete and ground beams from the warehouses of the 20th century Ford works were uncovered.
