Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned to carry out an Archaeological Watching Brief during construction works at Stockley Airport Junction. The scheme is part of the ongoing programme of works associated with the Crossrail Scheme. The proposed junction is located between West Drayton and Hayes and Harlington train stations, in the London Borough of Hillingdon. The project is being undertaken to provide a grade separated junction to facilitate Crossrail and Heathrow Express service movements from the Main and Relief lines to Heathrow and London Paddington without disruption to Main Line services. The watching brief monitored the works at the Western Flyover, Central Pier, and between the Main and Relief railway lines. This involved the pre-drilling of 18 new pile locations, and the machine excavation of ground surrounding 24 existing piles in order to reduce the ground level enough to enable the piles to be capped. These investigations were all carried out under the supervision of a fully trained and suitably experienced archaeologist. No significant archaeological features or deposits were encountered during the investigations. The stratigraphic model across the Site has revealed several layers of made ground down to c. 1.40m below ground level, primarily comprising build up for the railway and working platform, overlying clean in situ terrace gravel. The sharp contact between the overlying made ground and the gravel deposits suggests the upper profile of the terrace gravel has been truncated in the past; most likely for the construction of the railway lines.
