Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	MoLAS and PCA monitored the excavation of geotechnical trail pits, window samples and boreholes at the site. The deposits observed within the trial pits and window samples indicate the presence of 19th to 20th century dumping of industrial waste (from varied industrial activities such as furnace works, glass works and also possible gas works waste) across the whole site. Finds evidence suggests that it probably dates from the first quarter of the 20th century. The deposit has a depth of between 7m and 11m below current ground level. Underlying this were deposits with palaeoenvironmental or archaeological potential: an active flowing channel of the Lea flowed through this area at least until the Late Mesolithic\Early Neolithic periods. The length of time that the channel was active and the subsequent development of the alluvial clays has implications for the survival and occurrence of human occupation. The overlying alluvial clays suggest that a mudflat environment developed once channel migration had occurred. A large expanse of mudflats would not have been an attractive location for later prehistoric occupation.
