Abstract:		 An evaluation was carried out on 9th - 10th April 2018 at 147-151 Leytonstone Road in the London Borough of Newham. Two trial trenches were excavated. The stratigraphies were straightforward examples of C19th domestic sequences. The most recent contexts were modern spreads of re-worked material (101), (201), (202) containing concrete and bricks, forming a level ground surface. These sealed earlier pits [103], [109], [204], [208], containing frequent charcoal inclusions and large concentrations of domestic rubbish, including clay pipes, pottery, broken building material and glass. The finds are dated to the mid/late C19th and provide a terminus post quem date for their dumping. The rubbish pits cut made ground depositions in both trenches (104), (209); possibly to level the area for the construction of the original terraced housing during the 1850's. The earliest layer in Trench 1 was a band of sandy clay (106) overlying natural gravel, and considered to be an accumulation of cultivation soil. The earliest phase of activity in Trench 2 is represented by pit [206], backfilled with occasional C19th pottery and CBM. Both contexts appear to predate mid C19th occupation, and may instead be contemporary with the rural phases of the site. The geology consisted of loose gravel, mixed with natural sandy clay (107), (210). This was encountered at 0.78m below ground level in Trench 1, and 1.20m in Trench 2. In view of the considerable depth of C19th deposits, it is not considered that any further archaeological mitigation needs to be undertaken on this site.
