Abstract:		 The archaeological watching brief, undertaken on the location and removal of the petrol tanks, allowed assessing the extent and conditions of the surviving archaeological deposits. The evaluation of the site comprised a single evaluation trench (Trench 1) excavated to the east of two underground petrol tanks associated with the footprint of the petrol station recently demolished on site. The results of the deeper borehole survey at the site are also incorporated into this report. The archaeological investigations have provided evidence to determine the palaeotopography of the study site. The archaeological evaluation demonstrated that natural sand and gravel deposits slope downwards from the south to the north of the study site, possibly representing an edge of the Bermondsey eyot (island). The result of the archaeological evaluation have supported the conclusions reached during the monitoring of archaeological work at Abbey Street and with the research of the DTA. The evidence from evaluation Trench 1 suggest that within the site there was a possible encroachment by the Romans from the sandy gravel eyot to the south of the site into the alluvial fill of the channel to the north of the site which was represented by a 0.10m thick layer of silt sand clayey gravel that contained two shard of roman pottery.
