A large irregular pit was uncovered during the evaluation at the former substation by the Museum of London Archaeology and CgMs for the National Grid and Redrow homes ahead of proposed development. The pit was only partially excavated and is undated but contained a quantity of later prehistoric sherds of pottery. It was c 0.20m deep with a deeper sub-round element up to a further 0.44m deep. This pit contained 57 sherds from a single vessel of early to mid-Iron age. A further 22 sherds of late Bronze Age to mid-Iron age pottery, including two fine burnished, sand tempered sherds, one leached out shell temper sherd and one late Bronze Age rim. The feature also contained a small quantity of animal bone and struck/burnt flints and a fragment of a broken quern stone. This feature appeared to have been sealed by a thin layer of ash. (1-2)
