Abstract:		 This report details the results and working methods of an archaeological excavation undertaken by Pre-Construct Archaeology Limited on land at Spencer Works, Spencer Road, in the London Borough of Havering. Both the excavation, and an earlier evaluation on the site, were commissioned by Peter North and Partners on behalf of Eurotraders Global Limited. The excavation and evaluation together involved the excavation of one area measuring approximately 18.50m x 12.50m (Trench 2) and two smaller trenches to the north and east (Trenches 1 and 3). Natural deposits were noted in all three trenches. Prehistoric pits, post-holes and ard marks were identified in Trench 2 but were absent entirely from Trenches 1 and 3. Their excavation and analysis suggest they relate to relatively low-level prehistoric activity, possibly associated with agriculture or burning/hearth use, and that they may be peripheral to and associated with the more extensive prehistoric activity evidenced at Manser Road c 30m east of the site. After a long phase of abandonment, the site witnessed activity once again during the late post-medieval period in the form of agricultural ploughing. Occurring from at least the early 19th - early 20th century this activity may have continued until the construction of Spencer Works during the mid-20th century. Foundations remaining from the demolished Spencer Works (demolished in 2015) were noted in all trenches.
