Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	An archaeological watching brief was undertaken between March 2011 and August 2012, during water mains renewal and replacement works in Thames Water District Metering Area Crouch-Hill 29 (London Boroughs of Hackney and Islington): around Regents Canal and Shepherdess Walk. Archaeological monitoring was undertaken during contractors groundworks and consisted of the inspection and recording of all open works accessible during monitoring visits. Nothing of archaeological interest was revealed in these trenches, with most trenches and pits simply revealing modern road-surfaces overlying services and service fills / disturbed deposits, or relatively modern made-ground deposits. A few brick walls (mainly cellar walls) and a soakaway were uncovered - these generally related to the 19th century development of the area, as indicated on historic maps. The remains of an early 20th century underground toilet were also uncovered in New North Road. In a few trenches, stratified made-ground deposits were observed. Few finds were recovered, but these were generally 19th century pottery, reflecting the 19th century development of the area. Some indication of deposits associated with the creation of the canal basins were also observed in a few places. Indications of earlier land-surfaces / plough-soils were also observed in some trenches. These presumably pre-date the later post-medieval development of the area, when it was predominantly open fields, etc (as depicted on Rocque's mid-18th century map). Natural deposits (sandy-gravels and clay) were observed in a few places (Bletchley Street, Eagle Wharf Road, Shepherdess Walk, and Wharf Road), at between 0.8 and 1.4m beneath the modern ground-surface.
