Abstract: |
This report details the results of an archaeological evaluation undertaken by Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd for Hill Partnerships Ltd on behalf of Poplar Harca at Jolles House, Bromley High Street, Poplar in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, E3 3BL. The archaeological investigation, carried out between 19th-23rd November 2018, consisted of three trenches. An additional phase of work saw the excavation of two more trenches carried out between the 24th-27th June 2019 after the demolition of the buildings on the site. A sequence of 17th century dumped deposits as well as 18th and 19th century masonry structures potentially relating to both residential and industrial buildings, 20th century made ground deposits, and other features and deposits that overlaid or truncated natural gravelly clay were found in the course of the archaeological investigation. No archaeological evidence that pre-dated the 17th century was found in any of the five trenches indicating that any potential archaeological deposits had been entirely truncated by landscaping works during the post-medieval period. There was no evidence for the churchyard or cemetery that was situated to the north of the Jolles House site. Natural gravelly clay was only encountered within Trench 1 at a maximum height of 8.87m OD and a maximum height of 6.33m OD in Trench 5. The presence of structures and other constraints prevented natural gravel deposits being found in the other trenches. However, natural clay was encountered in Trench 4. |
