Abstract:		 Allen Archaeology Ltd was commissioned to undertake an archaeological watching brief at 1 Bemish Road, Putney in Wandsworth during groundworks for a new extension and basement. Planning permission was granted subject to conditions which included a first phase of archaeological desk-based assessment (AAL 2016) and the second phase of an archaeological watching brief. The desk-based assessment showed great potential for prehistoric, Roman and post-medieval archaeology. Within 100m of the site Roman remains of burial urns and scatter of pottery and metal finds had been found and settlements have been recorded to the south, east and to the north. There have been scares evidence of medieval activity around the site but abundant evidence of post-medieval activity. Three pits or trenches were excavated and monitored measuring between 1x1.5m and 1.3-1.6m to a depth of approximately 1m. No evidence of early archaeological features were encountered but there were well preserved residual Roman pottery and animal bone mixed in with post-medieval pottery, ceramic building material and fragments of 17th century clay pipes in the subsoil and the garden soil. The fact that the early material and the animal bone was found in an un-abraded condition would suggest they were found in close distance to their original deposition. Brick and mortar was recorded within the garden soil which is likely to relate to a recent garden feature. The groundworks had limited impact upon the archaeological resource within the development area and the watching brief has allowed for it to be preserved through records.
