Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	An archaeological excavation was carried out during September and October 2010 by Archaeology South East at the Rainham Interchange and Library Site, Ferry Lane, Rainham, London Borough of Havering (NGR: TQ 521 820). The archaeological work was commissioned by CgMs Consulting Ltd. on behalf of their client. Five phases of activity were recorded during the excavation. Phase 1 represents Late Iron Age/Roman activity comprising a few pit, posthole and gully features. These features were then sealed by a naturally derived, probably colluvial deposit in Phase 2. This presence of this deposit on the site may be as a result of episodic flooding. Phase 3 activity also represents Late Iron Age/Roman activity, but this phase consists of features cutting the natural deposit laid down in Phase 2. These features included pits, postholes, gullies, a well and a single burial of a young infant. Phase 4 relates to the medieval period for which the only evidence on site was a drainage ditch uncovered during the Stage 1 evaluation and intrusive artefacts scattered across the excavation area. Phase 5 is attributed to the post-medieval activity and consists the construction of two rows of late 19th century cottages and associated refuse pits and garden features. Considerable demolition from these cottages as well as made-ground was encountered on the site during the excavation. The natural geology was variable at the site and comprised a combination of yellowish orange sandy clays and sandy gravels, which were encountered at a maximum height of 2.38m AOD in the northeast of the site, falling away to 1.09m AOD in the west.
