Abstract:		 Compass Archaeology undertook a programme of rescue archaeological recording and preservation in situ between 17th and 19th October 2007, on the site of the New Guild Student Plots, School of Horticulture, Royal Botanic Gardens Kew. The site is located at TQ 18959 77245 and the investigation area measured 11m N-S by 23.5m E-W. In late Summer 2007 groundworks began for the excavation of sixteen new planting beds for the School of Horticulture and during this work (which did not require planning permission) the groundworks contractor exposed a series of large red brick structures. After discussions with representatives of English heritage and Historic Royal Places it was decided to implement a programme of recording and preservation in situ. The investigation revealed the foundations of a complex rectangular red brick greenhouse or 'forcing house' dating from the late 18th century and measuring approximately 21.5m E-W by 4.6m N-S., with fragmentary evidence suggesting the existence of a further building to the north. The walls indicated at least two phases of construction, with the northern wall apparently being rebuilt or strengthed at a later stage, additionally areas of burnt residue indicate the presence of a central stove or heating source with a similar structure at the western end. The drainage regime was also indicated by a complex series of cavities and drains in the southern and internal walls. Internal brick divisions divided up the greenhouse. Very few finds were present, but documentary and cartographic analysis revealed that the greenhouse probably belonged to land originally in the ownership of the Earl of Essex (the Capel family) and first shown on maps dating to 1771. The building being last shown on a map of 1851. Documentary evidence suggests that the building may have been a peach house or vinery and was constructed as part of the kitchen garden for the royal family at Kew.
