Abstract:		 A pre-determination evaluation was carried out, consisting of a single trench excavated in a car park in the west area of the site. Auger samples were sunk into the base of the trench to recover the full geoarchaeological sequence. These revealed natural gravels beneath a sedimentary sequence representing the silting up of a deep palaeochannel around the Horsleydown Eyot. The lower deposits indicated a fast-flowing channel and probably date to the early to mid-Holocene (Mesolithic). The upper deposits represent far quieter late prehistoric/historic backwater deposits which slowly infilled the channel to a point where reed-like or grassy vegetation was established and the area stabilised. By the medieval period this area was probably a water meadow (i.e. seasonally wet, with water management systems such as drainage ditches in place). This was overlain by a series of dumped deposits which contained a fragment of roof tile dated to 1200-1480 and sherds of pottery dated 1580-1900. These probably represent reclamation/ground consolidation, possibly during the medieval period and probably by the mid-16th century. These deposits were cut by a north-south aligned 19th-century drain and manhole, and sealed by modern deposits and concrete.
