Abstract:		 The desk-based assessment was undertaken as a planning condition relating to proposed developments. Historical and archaeological evidence suggested the site had a high potential for archaeological deposits from all periods and it fell within an Area of Special Archaeological Priority. The ancient topographical profile contained deposits (and associated floral and faunal remains) dating to the last interglacial period (122,000-128,000 years ago) and might have contained flint tools that could provide evidence of early human activity. The area was known to be a centre of Saxon and early medieval occupation. A watching brief had observed alluvial sediments in many of the pits, indicating the site overlay natural stream channels and masonry was observed in four of the test pits thought to have belonged to the earlier Admiralty building designed by Sir Christopher Wren in c.1695. Development on the site predominantly consisted of substructure repairs to the existing buildings; the exposure of an 18th century brick sewer, infilling of existing voids caused by rotting timber raft supports, and extensive underpinning to shore up the foundations.
