Abstract:		 A total of eight test pits were excavated by the geotechnical contractor and monitored by Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd between 13th November 2019 and 14th November 2019. During the investigation natural gravel deposits overlaid by clay layers were recorded sloping from the east (0.9m BGL) to the west (3.4m BGL) of the site. These deposits were interpreted as a possible gravel terrace sealed by alluvial clay, likely the former eastern bank of the River Lea. These deposits were partially disturbed by modern activity; in half of the Test Pits dug reworked clay deposits overlaying the alluvial clay were found, showing partial damage to the natural sequence. The natural deposits and the reworked clay layers were overlaid by a various sequence of modern deposits. These deposits are related to 19th century and 20th century site developments, most likely the firework manufactory and Gasworks infrastructure. No archaeological finds or archaeological features were observed during the excavation of the eight pits. There was no evidence for any finds or features relating to the Walthamstow Slip.
