Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	A programme of geoarchaeological fieldwork was carried out at the site in February 2017 to monitor a series of geotechnical boreholes and test pits, with subsequent deposit modelling of the sub-surface stratigraphy. These investigations were carried out in order to (1) clarify the nature of the sub-surface stratigraphy; (2) clarify the nature, depth, extent and date of any Langley Silt and Lynch Hill Gravel deposits; (3) investigate whether the sequences contain any artefact or ecofact evidence for prehistoric or historic human activity; and (4) provide recommendations for any further archaeological investigations at the site (if necessary). The results of the investigations revealed a sequence of Lynch Hill Gravel, overlain by a thin (<0.6m thick) and patchily present horizon of silty, clayey sand, and Made Ground. The material overlying the Lynch Hill Gravel in eight of the sixteen interventions is predominantly sandy, lacks the features typical of 'brickearth' structure, and contained no evidence of calcium carbonate reprecipitation. On this basis, although a separate unit can be identified overlying the Lynch Hill Gravel at the site, it seems most likely that this unit is the product of disturbance and mixing affecting near surface deposits, and probably incorporating both Lynch Hill material and remnants of the Langley Silt. In addition, these deposits are thin (<0.6m in thickness), patchily present, and are probably truncated in places by the overlying Made Ground. The Palaeolithic archaeological potential of the site is therefore considered to be negligible, and no further investigation of these sediments is recommended.
