Abstract:		 Archaeology South-East was commissioned by CgMs Consulting Ltd to undertake an archaeological excavation following on from an archaeological evaluation at Goresbrook Village, Goresbrook Road, Dagenham, London Borough of Barking and Dagenham in advance of the redevelopment of the site. The evaluation consisted of 9 evaluation trenches and the subsequent 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. Four further evaluation trenches are to be excavated at the site. 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. An area 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 a 20th century pit. The use of C14 dating to better understand the chronology of the site may be highly valuable in properly interpreting the archaeological results which merit publication in a short article within the journal London Archaeologist. Any further prehistoric evidence uncovered by the remaining evaluation trenches should also be incorporated into the publication.
