Abstract:		 During the excavation works for the construction of the synthetic turf pitch at Ricards Lodge School, a northeast-southwest aligned tunnel was revealed. AOC Archaeology Group was commissioned to record this tunnel and carry out a watching brief on the remainder of the ground reduction on site and record any other archaeological features. During the watching brief a large rectangular feature measuring 55.15m east west by 34.58m north south was identified. Map regression evidence suggests that this was the robber cut and demolition material from Marlborough House (built 1733), which burnt down and was demolished in 1785. This building was contemporary with the tunnel which linked it to servant�s quarters located somewhere to the northeast of the area of development. Four boxed or arched brick culverts were also recorded. These were constructed using the same brick types present in both the tunnel and the demolition material and were likely part of the water and waste management system for Marlborough House and gardens. No evidence of any earlier archaeological activity were recorded anywhere on site.
