Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out between 7th and 8th of February 2019 on land adjacent to the former Cross Keys Public House, Crown Lane, Dagenham, RM10 7UH. The evaluation was commissioned by Neil Rouse Architectural Design on behalf of the landowner as a condition of planning. The site is located within the Dagenham Village Archaeological Priority Zone and was deemed to hold potential to contain remains associated with post-medieval features including a collection of outbuildings and possible pond. The fieldwork involved the excavation of three trial trenches measuring 10, 12 and 15m long by 2m wide. The trenches were positioned to provide an adequate coverage of the proposed development footprint as well as to investigate known historic features towards the centre of the site. The evaluation recorded evidence of the water feature shown on 19th century maps at a depth of 0.70m below ground level in the western edge of the evaluation area, continuing to a depth of c1.60m. The remainder of the site produced little in the way of archaeologically significant observations. The remains of a buried agricultural land surface were exposed in the centre and east of the site and contained a single sherd of Late Medieval Sandy Transitional Redware date to the 15th and 16th century. Natural was observed in the base of all three trenches comprising sandy-silty-flinty-gravels. The upper stratigraphy of the trenches comprised a significant quantity of dumped and reworked material containing modern demolition detritus and domestic waste. |
