Abstract:		 Three evaluation trenches and four test pits were dug on the western side of Tooting High Street, close to the projected line of Stane Street. No significant remains were found, although there was evidence for 19th century development that can be closely related to the cartographic record. Moreover, the exposed foundations included part of an early 19th century chapel or Mission Hall - a small building originally about 6 by 7m in plan, though later extended. The structure is of some local historical interest and must have played a distinct role as the area changed from countryside to a London suburb. The remains included an original external brick base some 450mm thick and some 6 courses high, a shallow internal footing of the same date, and two adjoining walls that formed part of the later 19th century frontage. Other development evidence was limited to later 19th century housing and construction of a filling station - including substantial underground fuel tanks - in the 1960s. Elsewhere 20th century development had caused extensive disturbance and truncation, although the centre and rear of the site retained buried soil profiles sealed by recent construction deposits. However, there was no evidence for any activity - either in situ or residual - prior to the 19th century. The natural sandy or clayey silt was exposed throughout the area of investigation, except where cut away by deep modern intrusions.
