Abstract:		 The evaluation was undertaken in two phases. The first phase was carried out by James Langthorne between 21-09-2009 and 14-10-2009 and consisted of five trenches (Trenches 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6). The second phase was supervised by Rebecca Lythe between 16-12-2009 and 18-12-2009 and consisted of one trench (Trench 4). The earliest deposits encountered in four of the six trenches were natural sands, clays and gravels, the heights and differing characters of which indicated severe truncation. The results of the evaluation indicated that archaeological deposits that pre-date the later post-medieval period have been entirely truncated by the construction and demolition of 19th century terraced housing that fronted Seward Street and Central Street and the Chartered Gas Works of a similar date. Remains of garden structures of the terraced housing and masonry structures pertaining to the gas works were still extant on site despite fairly severe truncation by modern building works. The evaluation also indicated that any migration of the boundary of the St Bartholomew's Hospital burial ground to the west of the site did not occur and there was no evidence for plague pits along Seward Street. Finally, a level taken on the floor of the basement within 53 Central Street in the south-east corner of the site indicated that it was unlikely that any archaeological deposits would have remained extant after its construction.
