Summary
Non Technical Summary Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by CARD Geotechnics Ltd (the Client) to undertake an archaeological evaluation at 128-136 High Street, Plaistow, E13 in the London Borough of Newham (the Site). The Site is centred on NGR 540590 183070 at a height of 10.00m above Ordnance Datum (aOD). The evaluation comprised of a single 5.5m x 3.0m trench, which was excavated in order to elucidate the nature and character of any archaeological remains that may be present on the Site and to assess their potential significance. On the south east side of the trench, the remains of a petrol holding tank was uncovered at a depth of 9.60m aOD and the remains of a backfilled cellar was uncovered to the north of it, this extended past the depth of 7.8m aOD where the trench excavation ceased. This report concludes that any archaeological deposits on the frontage of the property have probably been destroyed with the backfilled cellar and with petrol holding tanks truncating any deposits in nearby areas. Due to the limited area covered by the evaluation trench and the potential for archaeological deposits to survive further from the road, it is proposed that a watching brief be undertaken during the removal of the petrol holding tanks. ii Acknowledgements-----------------------------
