Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was conducted on land at St Gabriel's College, Lambeth. The evaluation had been preceded by the preparation of an archaeological DBA and monitoring of preliminary geotechnical investigations, both of which predicated the form of the evaluation. The earlier work had suggested that there was significant potential for the presence of important Palaeolithic remains from underlying geological deposits of the late Pleistocene Kempton Park Gravel Formation and later deposits of the Langley Silt Member. There was less potential for later periods. Unfortunately, the loose and predominantly sandy nature of the geological deposits caused trench collapse and hindered detailed recording. However, the levels have been interpreted as braided river sediments and part of the Kempton Park Gravel sequence. Overlying deposits potentially of the Langley Silt Member were also recorded. It was not possible to definitively determine the presence of any individual channels (suggested by the earlier work), although the greater predominance of sandy deposits to the south-east did suggest a slower flowing channel there. No Palaeolithic artefacts or ecofactual material was found, nor were any discrete levels or deposits of bioenvironmental potential observed. Subsequent Holocene deposits included a level of derived, mostly sterile subsoil possibly originally produced by a combination of colluviation and bioturbation/agricultural ploughing of the Langley Silt. Three archaeological features were found; one small pit/post-hole may have been of prehistoric origin and two shallow ditches which may represent medieval or early post-medieval field boundaries. These features and deposits were sealed by a buried topsoil, in turn sealed by considerable deposits of made ground, laid during construction of the school in the 1970s.
