Abstract:		 Localised soil strippingwas followed by pipeline construction over a distance of c 1.25km, from a borehole near Empress Avenue northwards to the Wanstead Treatment Works. Groundworks mainly comprised a series of pits: the pipe itself was directionally drilled and did not involve extensive open-cut trenching. Both antiquarian and more recent sources indicate the existence of a significant Roman building in the southern part of the Park. However, no such remains were observed: deposits generally comprised either clean soil profiles or recent made ground below an existing path. At the southern end the land had been heavily disturbed by the former Redbridge Sewage Works. One pit did reveal an east-west aligned brick feature, c. 1m below ground level. This appeared to be of 17th century date - possibly from the 1670s - and may represent the south side of a drain. However, elsewhere the extensive landscaping that continued until c 1715 may have truncated earlier remains. Natural geology was exposed in most areas and included undifferentiated Head, River Terrace Deposits and recent alluvium.
