Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out between 17th and 19th of October 2018 on land at the former Weighbridge, Cook Road, London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, RM9 6UQ. The fieldwork involved the excavation of eight rectangular trial trenches. There was no evidence for early archaeological features having been cut into the underlying natural geology. Any archaeological deposits were limited to dumped layers - c.0.80m thick - of modern demolition rubble and loose soil, forming the upper context in each trench. It is thought that this acted as made ground for the Weighbridge when it was constructed. |
