Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken on the excavation of five geotechnical trial pits, two soakaway trial pits and two cable percussion boreholes on the proposed ELV Recovery Site at Sandy Lane, West Thurrock. The trial pits and boreholes revealed a concrete slab and made ground or topsoil across the site at a highest level of 10.48m OD. Directly below a sequence of sand, sand and gravel and clay deposits were encountered at a highest level of 10.08m OD overlying chalk natural at -4.51m to -4.69m OD. The sand, sand and gravel and clay are interpreted as alluvial horizons, possibly representing deposits of a braided channel of the River Thames. No archaeological features were identified truncating the alluvial layers but a struck flint was recovered from a sand deposit in TP1 at a depth of between 6.20 to 6.90m OD. The latter is a heavily abraded decortication flake, evidently re-deposited in this horizon.
