Abstract: |
Six test pits, each measuring 4m by 2m, were located across the site in areas where the geotechnical investigations suggested: a) an alluvial unit closer to the ground surface level; b) minimal contamination would be encountered; and c) no known basements were situated.
The concrete and hardstanding were removed using a 360-excavator fitted with a mechanical breaker and a toothed bucket. The modern made ground overburden and alluvium were removed using a toothless grading bucket. All machining was conducted under geoarchaeological supervision. No gravels or London Clay deposits were exposed during the evaluation.
Three environmental bulk samples were taken but were not processed, due to
possible asbestos/hydrocarbon contamination. In February 2022, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological test pit evaluation at 400 Roding Lane South, Woodford Green, in the London Borough of Redbridge. A total of four test pits were excavated to investigate the potential for Roman remains and assessment of alluvial layers.
The deposit sequence was confirmed as similar to that known from previous the geotechnical work. The lowermost deposits were attributed to the fine-grained Late (?) Holocene alluvium,covered by approximately 1.7-2.4m of modern made ground. No archaeological features or finds were recorded, suggesting that the archaeological horizon may have been truncated by modern development. |
