Abstract:		 Oxford Archaeology/Ramboll (OA/R) undertook a general watching brief on the site of the new Crossrail stabling yard at Ilford Rail Depot, Ley Street in the London Borough of Redbridge, London IG1. The archaeological works were carried out intermittently from December 2013 until September 2016 and took place during the demolition and remodelling of parts of an existing stabling and maintenance rail depot. The works are part of the project to create a maintenance depot and stabling facilities for the maintenance and servicing of Crossrail traction and rolling stock. The works uncovered the following sequence of deposits. In the western third of the site, in the site of the new Paint Shop, the ballast track sub base and concrete hard standing of the present rail depot overlay either in situ River Terrace sands and gravel or the Eocene London Clay. These were the earliest deposits observed across the whole site. Any intermediate deposits (late prehistoric - early post-medieval) appear to have been removed during the construction of the depot in the 19th and 20th century. On the site of the new Logistics/Stores and to the east of Workshop B, the track ballast/hard standing of the modern depot lay above deposits of in situ clay silts and silty sands. These silt deposits appear to have been laid down in a palaeochannel or lake which had eroded the underlying terrace gravels. Again, the earliest deposit uncovered was the London Clay. The clay silts and silty sands have been identified as being parts of the Ilford Silt Membrane. However, no artefactual or faunal remains were observed during the investigation and monitoring. Within Workshop A, a series of 19th-century deposits were observed. These appear to be the backfills of the brick quarry shown on 19th-century maps of the site. Aside from the backfilled 19th-century quarry and the track ballast surface of the rail depot no archaeological remains were observed during the works.
