Abstract:
This report presents the results of archaeological investigations carried out by Archaeology South-East at Goresbrook Village, Dagenham, London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, between August and November 2013. The fieldwork was commissioned by CgMs Consulting, on behalf of their client, in advance of redevelopment of the site as residential dwellings. The evaluation consisted of 13 evaluation trenches and two subsequent excavations. The first excavation involved the archaeological investigation of an area measuring 17m x 13m centred on an area in the south-east of the site where Late Bronze Age features were identified. A second mitigation area was extended around evaluation Trench 6. Natural river terrace gravels were recorded at c. 5.70m OD. The earliest identifiable activity on the site dates to the Late Neolithic/ Early Bronze Age and consisted of a single pit containing three barbed and tanged flint arrowheads and evidence of possible ritual activity. Two areas of intercut and discrete Late Bronze Age pits and post holes are perhaps indicative of domestic activity, if not on the site itself, then in immediate proximity. Occupation of the site continues into the Iron Age with the identification of a pit containing Early Iron Age pottery and unidentified cremated bone. More recent activity was of an 18th century routeway and two 20th century pits.
