Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief conducted during shallow ground reduction within the NE corner of the proposed development, inside (east of) the western boundary of the former (Old) East London Cemetery. The formation level of the ground reduction was at a height of 9.95m OD but natural sandy gravels, previously seen at heights between 9.92 and 10.15m OD during an earlier archaeological investigation within the boundaries of the cemetery, were not encountered during the excavation. However the redeposited sandy gravels that were the earliest deposit found in the course of the ground reduction may have been a relatively thin interface between later made ground deposits and the natural sandy gravel, rather than being indicative of significant truncation of the natural in this area of site. The upper levels of two linear cuts, [14] and [16] were seen, which could have been graves; however it was equally possible that they were small planter beds. They were left undisturbed. No articulated or disarticulated human bone was recovered from any of the deposits encountered during the ground reduction.
