Abstract: |
This report details the results and working methods of an archaeological excavation out at Ive Farm, Ive Farm Lane, Leyton, London Borough of Waltham Forest. The work was undertaken by Pre-Construct Archaeology Limited on behalf of NPS London. Two trenches, Area 1 and Area 2 were excavated revealing archaeological features dating from the Neolithic/Bronze, Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age and post-medieval periods. The natural drift geology comprised alluvial deposits, overlain by brickearth. The lower alluvial was noted at 5.06m OD and the upper at 5.46m OD. The brickearth was seen between 5.74m OD in Area 1 and in Area 2 at 5.35m OD. Two features dating to the Neolithic/Bronze Age were recorded during the investigations, a small posthole was seen in Area 1 and a kinked linear feature in Area 2. Most of activities noted during the archaeological works dated from the Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age. These comprised groups of postholes and pits and were seen in both trenches. Only three postholes were noted in Area 1. The posthole and pit groups in Area 2 formed obvious alignments suggestion structures or boundary markers. Two post-medieval postholes were recorded in Area 1. |
