Full Description
A phase of strip, map and sampling took place 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. During this excavation a group of small pits were uncovered which have a possible Iron Age date. These pits were located at the southern end of the excavated area and a total of four were identified. Two of these revealed finds, one contained a small quantity of struck flints with pottery of a possible iron age date. The other also produced struck flint alongside fragments of a probably late Iron Age/Roman copper alloy bracelet. (1-2)
