Abstract:		 A watching brief was undertaken on the construction of a basement. Both the height of the 'natural' gravel, and its gradual slope down to the north-west, were unexpected. It had been thought that alluvial deposits on site would be deeper and that any reduction in height would be to the south or east towards the nearest contemporary stretches of the Wraysbury River and the Colne. As the truncated surface of the gravels was almost certainly formed by floodwater, the fall of the slope suggested that the principal axis of the watercourse that created it also lay north-west of the site. The post-medieval alluvial muds that lay above the gravels included debris from the immediate area, or a little upstream on the Wraysbury River, perhaps from Hale Mill that stood c.100m further north. The river fringe that they represented may not have been reclaimed until the 18th century, and the earliest buildings known were of the Lancasterian School, known from an 1822 map of the site. The truncated remains of some of its brick foundations and of four cess, and/or well pits were recorded. It was recommended that no further archaeological monitoring of the site need take place.
