Abstract:		 Following work in 2002-2003, five evaluation trenches were excavated on the site and six augerholes assessed by the MoLAS Georachaeology Team. All the sediments in the augerholes generally appear to represent a lacustrine environment early in the Holocene with laminated silts and sands, giving way to marls in augerholes 1, 2 and 4 . This was probably a lake that developed on the floodplain of the Thames in and amongst the gravel highs and lows created during the Late Devensian braided river environment (c.30-10,000 BP). The area appears to have become progressively drier with organic clays and peats accumulating over the marls through vegetation colonisation along the lake margins. Silty clays within the peats probably represent reactivation of the lake through changes in climate or changes in the local fluvial regime. Added to this, through trenches 2 and 5 (AH1 and AH6), the peats appear to have been eroded probably through a later Holocene river channel crossing the northern edge of the site.The later deposits consist of a plough soil and subsoil, representing the late post-medieval ground level and later garden areas for 19th century residential buildings. These buildings were demolished in the 1960s, and the with resultant rubble material levelled on top of the plough soil, prior to the construction of the Silwood estate.
