Abstract:		 A programme of geoarchaeological fieldwork and deposit modelling was carried out within the area of palaeoenvironmental potential at the Brent Cross site in order to (1) clarify the nature of the sub-surface stratigraphy across the site; (2) clarify the nature, depth, extent and likely date of any former land surfaces, alluvial and peat deposits; and (3) to make recommendations for any further geoarchaeological, palaeoenvironmental or archaeological investigations. The results of these investigations indicate that the sedimentary sequence at the site comprises the bedrock London Clay, overlain within the valley of the River Brent by gravel, floodplain alluvium, and Made Ground. Outside of the area of the floodplain, and rising above an elevation of around 41m OD, the bedrock is overlain by Head deposits most likely of colluvial origin, and Made Ground. On the floodplain itself, a horizon of Holocene alluvium is recorded, generally present at elevations of between ca. 33 and 41m OD. The sediments of the Alluvium are mineral-rich, and indicative of deposition within low energy fluvial and/or semi-aquatic conditions. No organic units were recorded within the new geoarchaeological boreholes, indicating that where such units are recorded within the previous geotechnical boreholes, these are likely to be highly localised, representing either thin organic units or trace (probably detrital) inclusions. The palaeoenvironmental potential of the Brent Cross site is therefore considered to be very limited, and no further geoarchaeological or palaeoenvironmental investigations in this area are recommended.
