Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned to undertake an archaeological watching brief during ground reduction and underpinning works associated with the excavation of a new basement below the existing property at 5 Upper Cheyne Row, London. The Site comprises a single domestic house with small gardens to the front and rear. The underlying geology within the Site has been identified as Thames river terrace gravel deposits overlying London Clay. Two visits made to the site, when records were made of three underpinning pits in the rear garden to the south of the standing building and the partially excavated backfilled cellar within the building, and to monitor two further underpinning pits and the final reduction to formation level in the rear garden with further excavation to formation level within the present building. The underpinning pits were observed prior to being fully shored, but excessive depth prevented safe access into the pits for detailed recording. Within the building the depth of the excavations again prevented close examination of the surviving walls; however, these appeared to be the same as those recorded in the rear garden to the south. The exposed brickwork appeared to be of 19th century date, broadly contemporary with the listed terrace of buildings a little to the west. None of the exposed former basement walls or floors appeared to be earlier than late 19th century in date and it is possible/likely that the previous building that stood on the Site was broadly contemporary with listed buildings along the same side of the street. No archaeological features or deposits were observed in any of the underpinning pits or below the earlier concrete basement floors where observation was possible. The former basement or basements appear to have severely truncated the natural Terrace Gravel substrata, possibly by over 1m, and it seems unlikely that any features survive.
