Abstract:		 Archaeological monitoring and recording was undertaken during groundworks associated with installation of a new 33KV underground power cable between Nags Head Lane and the crossing of the Ingrebourne River near Harold Park, Romford. Albion Archaeology was commissioned by UK Power Networks to carry out the archaeological work and geoarchaeological investigation. The groundworks cut through three partially 'silted-up' existing field boundary ditches, exposing their full profiles. Though no artefacts were recovered, these boundaries are depicted on early 19th-century pre-enclosure maps suggesting the possibility that they could be of medieval origin. Their recording is of some significance, in light of regionally identified themes relating to the development and relationships of settlements and field systems. The only other features revealed were associated with modern activities, most likely relating to either agricultural activity or the construction of the nearby railway. However, a small number of pottery sherds recovered from the subsoil hint at activity dating to the late Bronze Age/early Iron Age and Saxon periods in the wider vicinity. It was not possible to address the geoarchaeological objectives of the project during the fieldwork due to the limited nature of the groundworks. The main opportunity for observing and sampling geoarchaeological deposits was during the excavation of the launch pits south of the Ingrebourne River. However, these excavations proved not to be as deep or extensive as anticipated with only the alluvial deposits removed in its entirety in one of the pits exposing a small area of clay and gravel. The deeper deposits with the greatest geoarchaeological potential were never penetrated.
