Abstract:		 Archaeological monitoring of trial pits and groundworks for a pond and bund revealed no archaeological finds or features. A thin layer of peat was present across the site at an average mean depth of 1.5m, sealed below orange-grey clay and the topsoil. The presence of the peat deposit conforms to the general deposit model along the marshland of the Thames Estuary, although the relatively shallow depth beneath the present ground surface of this peat, compared with the much deeper deposits found elsewhere along the Thames marshland, may suggest that it formed after the prehistoric period. One modern feature, containing plastic bags, was located in trial pit 4. This may represent an anti-glider ditch, excavated during the Second World War, but backfilled after the 1950s.
