Monument record BRK 104 - Gallows Hill, Barking, (Prehistoric).

1990: DBA, fieldwalking, metal detecting and geophysical surveys - see (S3).

2002: Evaluation. The earliest prehistoric activity was represented by stratified and unstratified Mesolithic worked flint. Three concentrations of Neolithic flint, and three features were recorded, the latter containing Ebbsfleet-Mortlake pottery suggesting a Late Neolithic date. The ring ditch (BRK 005) was positively identified as being of Bronze Age date, while no conclusive dating evidence was recovered for the complex BRK 016.

2013: Excavation recorded Prehistoric to Post medieval features. The Early Bronze Age was represented by a small number of pits in the extreme southern corner of the site. Two of these pits contained Early Bronze Age pottery. Two more, although conatining no finds, have been tentatively assigned this date due to their similarity of form and proximity. The Iron Age was represented by a single Pit which contained a sherd of Iron Age pottery (S4).

Also see Undated, Roman, Saxon & Medieval records for further details relating to these periods.

Whilst the flintwork was identified as Mesolithic or Neolithic at evalution stage, the character of the entire assemblage and the nature of specific types in (S4) suggests an Early Neolithic age for the earliest flintwork, (S6). It was also not mentioned in (S5).
