Abstract:		 AOC Archaeology Group were appointed by John Samuels Archaeological Consultants to conduct an archaeological watching brief during topsoil and subsoil stripping of phases 7 and 8 at Havering Aggregates'' gravel quarry, Southall Farm, Rainham, Essex. The earliest evidence for human activity on the site was one long Middle Bronze Age boundary ditch. In the Later Bronze Age a small post-built house was constructed, which was found in association with a large pit and gully. The pit contained the substantial remains of a single Late Bronze Age pot. Other evidence for Bronze Age activity comprised a number of pits containing firecracked flint and/or pottery. Two parallel Bronze Age ditches at the north-eastern end of the site may also have formed a droveway. The site was sub-divided with a formal field-system in the Iron Age. This was in part cut through the earlier droveway. Four groups of pits and postholes were identified, the function of each was unclear. Although extensive Romano-British activity is known beyond the site�s northern boundary very little evidence was recovered from the site itself. Two Romano-British ditches were recorded, one of which appeared to reiterate a middle Bronze Age boundary, suggesting that the banks of the earlier feature, or associated hedges, must have remained as landscape features. Subsequent to this there is no evidence for activity on the site until the excavation of boundary ditches in the post-Medieval period.
