Abstract:		 The works comprised the excavation of one trench that measured approximately 167m long by 3m wide and was excavated to a maximum depth of 1.20m below ground level. It was positioned across the footprint of the works that extended east to west along the northern side of Petty France before turning north at the eastern end, along Queen Anne's Gate. Deeper excavations necessitated by the diversion of services allowed for the observation of what has tentatively been interpreted as a natural sand horizon. The next archaeological horizons were recorded as redbrick walls and drains, presumed to date to the 18th to 19th centuries and comparable with buildings seen on historical cartographic sources. Seen in association with these remains was a layer of dumped material containing material from a comparable date. This suggests an untruncated archaeological sequence towards the north of the study site. The main east to west part of the works revealed later walls and foundations, made from yellow stock bricks and part of the late 19th century Queen Anne's Mansions that were demolished in the 1970s. Modern demolition and ground raising horizons completed the archaeological sequence up to the road surface and its associated bedding layers. The archaeological remains observed confirm the presence of post-medieval brick-built structures across the redevelopment area dating from the 18th-19th centuries. The early features may represent parts of the range of terraced properties visible on historical cartographic sources seen to predate the late 18th century Queen Anne's Mansions buildings, the foundations of which were also recorded during the works. The significance of the later walls and foundations lies with their relation to the Queen Anne's Mansions that was known to be a pioneering development in terms of use of its hydraulic lift system and height.
