Britannia Music Site, 60-70 Roden Street, Ilford, London, IG1 2XX: An Archaeological Evaluation

In September 2013 Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd carried out three archaeological evaluation trenches across the former Britannia Music site in Ilford. The majority of the site was found to have been truncated at least to the top of the natural gravel by previous development during the 20th century. However, the fragmented remains of brick walls and footings were seen in two of the trenches in the northern half of the site. These are likely to represent the late 18th/19th century buildings fronting on to Ilford Hill, or the outbuildings to the back of these properties. A single, residual, sherd of late Iron Age/Early Roman pottery was recovered from a 19th century context.
