Two evaluation trenches were investigated. these were dug by machine until archaeology was reached. They were then cleaned and recorded. Alternating deposits of redeposited waterlain clays and peat were found in both trenches. There were two peat deposits at c 1.60m OD and at minus 1.50m OD. In addition, there were several 19th century brick features. An east-west wall was part of the north wall of the London Dock and another wall is part of a dockside warehouse and both features can be seen on historic maps of the area. The London Dock opened in 1805 and closed in 1968.
