Land at Bow Church, E3 TQ 3762 8294 PCA Ltd (Mark Chesterman)
watching brief July 2006 Adams and Sutherland BQW06
Natural London clay was overlain by River Terrace gravels which
were sealed by alluvial clay and by gravels. In the NW of the site
a metalled surface was recorded at a height lower than the current
ground level of the church, last modified in the 19th c. Although
no finds were associated with the metalling it is possible that
it represents the remains of the post medieval precursor of Bow
Road. Also on the NW corner of the site a 19th/20th c brick drain
and a lamppost base were identified. 19th/20th c made ground layers
and surfaces sealed the natural and the features.
