Abstract:		 An archaeological field evaluation was undertaken by Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd on 23- 31 Lower Coombe Street and land adjacent to 17 St Andrews Road, London Borough of Croydon. The evaluation found possible evidence of prehistoric activity on site and abundant evidence to suggest that a significant Roman settlement existed on, or in the near vicinity of, the site. Whilst the known Roman features were isolated to the eastern half of the site it can not be discounted that they may have existed and remain in situ elsewhere within the development area.The medieval/post-medieval deposits on site reflect a land use that was essentially agricultural with minimal quantities of cultural material accumulating on site. The presence of these deposits throughout all of the excavated evaluation trenches suggests that limited truncation has occurred on site since the end of the Roman period and the consequent redevelopment of the site in the 19th and 20th centuries. The lack of truncation to the site suggests that Roman and prehistoric deposits may remain undisturbed elsewhere on site.
