Abstract: |
This report details the results of an archaeological evaluation on land at Beam Park Riverside (Phase 2 West), Thames Avenue, London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, RM9 6DE. Four trenches were excavated across the site. Natural deposits were noted in the four trenches excavated. Notably an area of brickearth was recorded in one of the trenches located on the northern edge of the site. This deposit is thought to have formed during the late Holocene. A complex sequence of alluvial and peat deposits was encountered at various depths in all of the trenches excavated. Geo-archaeological trial holes were required in two of the trenches to investigate these floodplain deposits as they were not encountered in the main trench. An organic layer was encountered in one of the trenches and contained fragments of burnt flint. The alluvial deposits were sealed by modern made ground. Modern truncation to some degree or another was encountered in all the trenches and this was seen to be most severe towards the western side of the site; where reinforced concrete, underground tanks and ground beams from the warehouses of the 20th century Ford Assembly Plant were uncovered. |
