Abstract:		 In October and November 2019 Cotswold Archaeology (CA) carried out an archaeological watching brief with supplementary test pitting exercise in connection with proposed improvements at Junction 28 of the M25 motorway, London Borough of Havering, and Essex, at the request of Atkins, acting on behalf of Highways England. All of the monitoring and test-pitting works were located within the London Borough of Havering. Overall, the monitoring and test-pitting works produced largely negative results, with no activity pre-dating the modern period being observed. Sterile alluvial deposits were recorded in the area of the Weald Brook. These deposits were not demonstrated to overlie any archaeological remains. Modern made-ground was recorded across large parts of the scheme area suggesting a significant level of modern truncation and disturbance through-out the site associated with the construction of the M25 motorway, the A12, a skip-yard and recycling facility and various services that run through the site. With the exception of the land on the west side of the Weald Brook and to the south of the A12, where modern disturbance and made ground deposits were less frequently encountered and shallower in depth, then the extensive levels of modern disturbance are considered to make the likelihood of archaeological features and deposits surviving very low across the Scheme.
