Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	A programme of geoarchaeological fieldwork and deposit modelling was carried out in order to: (1) map the height and thickness of the deposits; (2) assess their geoarchaeological, archaeological and palaeoenvironmental potential, and (3) provide recommendations for any further assessment. In order to address these aims, two geoarchaeological boreholes were retained from the site, and a deposit model prepared using the new geoarchaeological and existing geotechnical data for the site. The results of the deposit modelling indicate that the sediments present beneath Plot 19.05 are similar in character to those recorded elsewhere on Greenwich Peninsula; the Late Devensian Shepperton Gravel is overlain by a sequence of Holocene alluvial sediments, buried beneath modern Made Ground. The site lies in an area of generally lower Gravel topography (the surface of which lies at between -3.52 and -2.38m OD), perhaps either within or on the margins of a former Late Devensian/Early Holocene channel. The archaeological potential of the site is therefore considered to be limited. Between 1.7 and 4m of Holocene alluvium was recorded overlying the Gravel, within which peat was recorded at one location between -1.58 and -2.38m OD. On the basis that the sediments at the site are largely inorganic, and no peat was recorded within the new geoarchaeological boreholes, no further environmental archaeological assessment is recommended.
