Abstract:		 The basement excavation followed the piling of the site to create the buried superstructure pf the building. Thereafter mechanical plant was used to excavate the alluvium from between the piles. This exercise was initially subject to an archaeological brief, however, the extremely confined nature of the excavation - working between piles - made this a slow and unproductive process. It was therefore arranged for the on-site plant to excavate two evaluation-type trenches through the alluvium to below the formation level for the basement in two separate areas. These were executed and showed only sterile alluvial clay to be present. The investigation was thereupon halted. A single wooden stake or pile was discovered at depth surviving between the piles and a damaged section of wall was recorded along the southern limit of the site. Both were attributed to the activities relating to the rail yard that existed at the site and dated to the early 20th century. No other archaeological remains were uncovered. The main part of the stratigraphy consisted of alluvial clays with the possible discovery of an isolated sand bank at a height of -0.64m OD.
