Abstract:		 Three trenches were excavated. In one, natural London Clay was observed beneath natural gravels, which were overlain by a series of dumped gravelly clay layers which were probably imported as make-up. Above these was a silty clay deposit similar to garden soil and may relate to an earlier phase of gardens on the site, which was covered by a silty rubble deposit beneath the modern turf line. A second trench revealed natural London Clay cut by a modern sewer pipe trench which had been backfilled with brown clay and gravel. This was covered by mortar, modern make-up layers and modern turf. The last trench contained a rubble and concrete layer (probably relating to the Esso petrol station which stood on the site until the 1970s) covered by a clean gravel deposit under a geotextile membrane beneath a silty clay layer and modern turf. No remains of the earlier Tate Library Gardens or the Orange Coach Station were observed.
