An archaeological watching brief during the construction of a 19km long natural gas pipeline built to connect Horndon Gas Compound (at TQ 66100E/83800N) with Barking Power Station (at TQ 49200E/82740N). The pipeline ran along an approximate east/west route, first for 14km through open farmland as far as Rainham, and thereafter alongside the Tilbury to London railway line through a mainly industrial landscape. The archaeological fieldwork was undertaken between May and September 1993.
