Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Turner and Townsend, on behalf of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, to undertake a phased programme of archaeological excavation at the Holland Park School. The archaeological works were in support of a planning application to redevelop the site, which would involve the demolition of the existing 1950s-built school and the construction of a new school and sports area. The fieldwork comprised a trial trench evaluation in August 2009 followed by three staged phases of excavation from March 2010 to June 2013. The fieldwork has revealed evidence for human activity dating from the Iron Age through to the post-medieval/modern period. This assessment report presents the results from all phases of excavation. The excavation identified a small number of Late Iron Age/Early Romano-British features. Evidence included several possible boundary or enclosure ditches, whilst two parallel ditches may have formed a droveway or trackway, perhaps part of a wider sub-divided, agricultural landscape. Although no direct settlement evidence was recorded, a few pits and postholes may indicate occupation nearby. The Romano-British period was poorly represented, although two ditches are of this date. Substantial in size, the two features possibly formed the south-east entrance to an enclosure or field system to the north-west of the site. A number of post-medieval features were also recorded across the site, and relate to the landscape that covered the Holland Park area until the 19th century. Much of the land was the former grounds of the Jacobean mansion called Cope Castle, renamed Holland House which remained gardens until the later decades of the 19th century. Several features probably represent garden features, and include pits dug for shrubs or small trees, horticultural planting beds, and a possible pond.
