Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was carried out during September 2012, at the marshalling yard, G-Gate Olympia, Hammersmith Road, London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. Three trial trenches measuring 15m by 1.8m were excavated at locations close to the site periphery. The work was carried out prior to mixed-use redevelopment of the site. In Trenches 1 and 2 towards the western and eastern sides of the site respectively the earliest deposit encountered was natural brickearth, recorded at a surface elevation between 4.08m OD (west) and 4.30m (east), whereas natural deposits had been heavily truncated by basement excavation in Trench 3 to the south. Disturbed brickearth was recorded overlying natural deposits in Trenches 1 and 2 and deposits in both trenches were partly truncated by the construction of 18th- to 19th-century buildings that formerly fronted Hammersmith Road. More extensive evidence for these buildings was recorded in Trench 3, which was extensively occupied by basements of public house and bank structures. The wall of a 20th-century building was also recorded in Trench 1 and layers of modern made ground were recorded in Trenches 1 and 2. Recent deposits in trench 3 were dominated by demolition rubble that infilled the former basements. Although an earlier desk-based assessment had suggested that modern development was likely to have truncated all archaeological deposits, the evaluation demonstrated a localised presence of earlier layers and suggested some potential for the survival of archaeological remains, though no features pre-dating the 18th century were identified.
