Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	An archaeological excavation carried out on land at The Highway, Wapping Lane, Pennington Street and Chigwell Hill. The site is located on an escarpment overlooking the Thames floodplain to the south, Lithics suggest that the site was occasionally visited during the Mesolithic and Neolithic era. A few pits and post holes and a 'burnt mound' dating to the Bronze Age represent the earliest recorded archaeological features. Roman ditches, wells, pits, postholes and occupational deposits attest to a occupation including the remnants of clay-and-timber buildings. The site appears to have been abandoned in the early 5th century, The site was re-occupied at the end of the 16th or early 17th century. Excavated wells, cess pits and rubbish pits attest to occupation of the site throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. 1.9 The earliest post-medieval buildings , probably date to the late 17th century. By the middle of the 18th century the cartographic and archaeological evidence suggests that all the surrounding street frontages were built up. Ceramics indicated that a 17th century drinking establishment probably existed on site. An 18th century tanning pit is evidence for an onsite leather manufacturer. TThe animal bone assemblage produced evidence of bone working taking place in the 19th century.
