Border Archaeology (BA) was instructed by 1-2 Hepscott Road Ltd to carry out a programme of Detailed Archaeological Assessment in respect of a proposed residential development on the site of Nos. 1-2 Hepscott Road Hackney Wick E9 5HB. Overall, the archaeological potential of the site has been assessed as Low to Moderate, reflecting the limited scope of the archaeological record and the evidence that this area remained as sparsely occupied marshland subject to episodic flooding from prehistory through to the mid-19th century. The results of recent investigations in the immediate locality have demonstrated the potential for encountering evidence of alluvial silt and peat deposits of high palaeoenvironmental significance; however, any such deposits are likely to underlie deep deposits of post-medieval/modern made ground, extending to a depth of 3.5m-4m in places.
