Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was carried out on a parcel of land at No. 3 Manor Avenue, Hornchurch in advance of the construction of a two storey building and garages. Two northsouth aligned evaluation trenches, measuring 20m by 1.5m and 10m by 1.5m respectively, were excavated across the 0.14ha site. The required investigation was prompted by a lack of information about the archaeological potential of the area, which is situated to the west of the Ravensbourne brook and is likely to have been attractive area for settlement and exploitation in the prehistoric period. At the start of the evaluation Trench 2 was moved approximately 10m to the southwest and shortened by 10m (from 20m) due to presence of an existing garage. Two modern features, containing a piece of factory-made pottery and small lumps of coal, were identified and excavated. Both were located in trench one. In order to expose an extended stratigraphic sequence and determine the presence or absence of any underlying gravel terrace associated with the nearby Ravensbourne brook, a sondage was excavated at the north end of trench 2. It showed the geology of the site consisted of sandy soil to a depth of at least 2m below the existing ground surface. The investigation did not reveal any archaeological remains and while this may in part be due to the reduction in area sampled caused by the shortening of Trench 2, the results would appear to suggest that the proposed development will have no impact upon the archaeological record.
