Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief of geotechnical trial pits was undertaken between the 15th and the 19th of September 2005 by Pre-Construct Archaeology Limited at the Royal Hospital Chelsea, Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. This work took place in conjunction with site geotechnical investigation works. Four engineering trial pits were excavated across the site to a depth of the natural gravel and information from tree boreholes was obtained. The engineering trial pits were recorded as a watching brief. The natural sandy gravel that was observed across the site and gradually sloped from the south, where the highest level recorded was 5.49m OD in BH3, to the north where the lowest level of the site was 4.31m OD. No archaeological cuts where observed due to the size of the test pits. A mid brown sandy silt layer was observed across the site, except for TP2 and BH3 where 20th century dump deposit sealed the natural gravel. This layer was interpreted as a post medieval layer (18th/19th century). 20th century dump deposit and make up layers were encountered across the site.
