Abstract:		 The evaluation strategy was for three trenches, of similar sizes and depths, although ultimately it was possible to complete only one. Two trenches were located within the lightwell area and the third was located within the two-storey part of the standing building. The latter trench, Trench 2, was not commenced due to its close proximity to a working high pressure water system. Augering at Trench 3 revealed modern concrete footings or the remains of a basement underlying modern backfill. Therefore, augering and hand digging were not possible below this level. In Trench 1 however, augering revealed London Clay to be overlain by a sequence of silty deposits likely to indicate repeated phases of ground reclamation since the Roman period. Hand excavation of the upper sequence confirmed a similar sequence of stratigraphy, with several phases of ground raising containing artefacts representative of occupation ranging from the Roman to Medieval periods. No Prehistoric or Saxon material was observed.
