Abstract:		 Following on from an archaeological evaluation, an archaeological watching brief was conducted at 1 Varcoe Road, Southwark SE16 3DG between 20 July and 23rd November 2018. Archaeological monitoring included five test pits for pile probing, excavation for pile caps and ground beams and excavation for a sub-station and lift shaft. In one section along the northern perimeter of the site the (lower) blue-grey alluvium (as previously seen in the evaluation) was recorded at -0.76m OD, c.1.74m below ground level (BGL). The excavated test pits were only dug to a depth that revealed the top of the peat bed (as previously recorded in the evaluation phase). This was seen to be overlain by a yellow-brown (upper) alluvium; these layers were in turn sealed by made ground. The peat sloped slightly from north to south and was observed at a maximum height of -0.29m OD, c.2.00m BGL, falling to -0.59m OD in Test Pit 8. The alluvium sloped slightly towards the south and was seen at a maximum height of 0.02m OD, c.1.80m BGL to -0.19m OD. No finds were observed or recorded.
