Abstract:		 Archaeological monitoring of deeper groundworks associated with the Laydown Area East and Laydown Area West phases of the Edmonton EcoPark development as part of the North London Heat and Power Project. From March to July 2019 ADAS carried out an archaeological watching brief of groundworks required for the construction and installation of services infrastructure preceding the development of temporary car parking and a materials laydown area centered on National Grid Reference TQ 36104 92434. The Laydown Area will serve the main construction work of the proposed Edmonton EcoPark development as part of the wider North London Heat and Power Project. wn Area East, The results of the archaeological monitoring indicated a low potential for significant archaeological features and deposits to survive across Laydown Area East and along the northern boundary of Laydown Area West. The general absence of archaeological features and deposits recorded may partially be attributed to the relatively limited impact of the groundworks. Nevertheless, the monitored areas indicated that significant truncation of the Site had previously occurred down to the alluvial sequence observed across the Site. The artefacts recovered in-situ from the alluvium exposed during the archaeological monitoring were all likely deposited during the Post-medieval to Modern period. Residual material including a single sherd of Roman pottery and a fragmented later Medieval roof tile was also recovered. The programme of archaeological monitoring focused on a total of twenty-two trenches across both Laydown Area East and Laydown Area West. The trenches consisted of linear elements (pipe and duct trenches), substantial fixed excavations (cess pool and attenuation tank) and smaller fixed excavations (manholes, soak-aways, substation and chemical and fuel stores). A general stratigraphic sequence was observed across the entirety of the Laydown Area. This sequence consisted of made ground overlying an alluvial sequence, which in turn overlay natural gravels. The full stratigraphic sequence was not observed in every trench due to varying formation levels for each individual element of the groundworks. Of the twenty-two monitored trenches, fifteen locations exposed the general stratigraphic sequence.Trenches 8, 9 and 12-16 involved groundworks where the formation level was within the made ground and the alluvial sequence and natural geology was not exposed. In June 2020 ADAS carried out an archaeological watching brief of groundworks required for the construction and installation of surface water and drainage infrastructure preceding the development of temporary office space and car parking centred on National Grid Reference TQ 35989 92485. The Laydown Area will serve the main construction work of the proposed Edmonton EcoPark development as part of the wider North London Heat and Power Project. Archaeological monitoring of groundworks required for the Laydown Area East phase of the North London Heat and Power Project was completed and a report of the findings produced in 2019. Both phases of monitoring were carried out under the same site code (ECO19) and the monitoring reports should be read in conjunction with one another. The programme of archaeological monitoring focused on a single trench excavated for the construction and installation of a culvert attenuation tank. The results of the archaeological monitoring indicated a low potential for significant archaeological features, deposits and artefacts to survive along the northern boundary of the Site. The general absence of archaeological features and deposits recorded may partially be attributed to the relatively limited impact of the groundworks. Nevertheless, the monitored areas indicated that significant truncation of the Site had previously occurred down to the alluvial sequence observed across the Site.
