Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken between August 2006 and June 2007. This was on water mains replacement works carried out by Thames Water Utilities Ltd. in the Deptford and St. Johns (north) area. Preliminary consultation with English Heritage selected a number of roads where archaeological observation and recording should take place. Works comprised a mixture of open cut trenches and pits linked by pipe insertion or drilling. No significant archaeological finds or features were observed during the course of the watching brief. Deposits below the modern road make-up deposits generally consisted of recent made ground, or service backfills. The only finds consisted of ceramic building material and occasional pottery, of later 19th or 20th century date. Where cleaner deposits could be seen to exist (such as the silt towards the southern end of Deptford Church Street) these were sterile of finds or features and were often disturbed by services. This alluvial silt is most probably related to the tidal reach of River Ravensbourne (this area known as the Deptford Creek). It is also possible the high level of the silts could be explained by the presence of tidal mills as seen on historic maps of the area . No natural deposits were encountered during the course of this watching brief with the exception of the possibly redeposited gravels and clay seen in deep excavations at the northern end of Deptford High Street.
