Abstract:		 Six evaluation trenches were excavated up to 2.00m below current ground level, with natural deposits of gravel identified within Trenches 8, 9, 10 and 11 from a height between 16.13m OD and 15.56m OD. These gravels were later further investigated within three geoarchaeological test-pits, excavated by PCA. Overlaying the gravels was natural brickearth within Trenches 6, 7, 8, 9 and 11. A residual Palaeolithic hand-axe was recovered from a post-medieval contact in Trench 8. Layers of made ground and/or features of a post-medieval date were seen in all six of the trenches including pits, soakaways and a possible well relating to the buildings fronting onto Hackney Road and Gorsuch place. Tentative evidence was found for 17th century activity on or near the site in the form of a tightly grouped finds assemblage, with other 17th and 18th century material also found residually. A feature of note recorded in Trench 7 is considered to be an animal plague pit from the 18th century, and thus indicative of the broadly undeveloped nature of the site until the 19th century as urbanisation took hold. All six trenches were sealed by layers of modern made ground No archaeological deposits or features pre-dating the post-medieval period were observed during the evaluation.
