Abstract:		 A programme of geoarchaeological investigations were carried out at the 30-44 Crown Street, Acton site in order to carry out a suitable assessment of its palaeoenvironmental and Palaeolithic archaeological potential. Due to access restraints, only mini digger with a maximum machine arm depth of 1.4m was available during the excavations; the sequence within the test pits (TP1 and TP2) was therefore limited to Made Ground, in both pits to their maximum depth of 1.4m below ground level. The contact between the Made Ground and the natural sequence at the site was therefore not observed in the test pits, and it remains unclear if any remnant of the Lynch Hill Gravel survives below ca. 1,4m bgl. However, it is perhaps of note that in the geotechnical logs, these units are described only as 'slightly gravelly clay' or a 'sandy clay'; in addition, the London Clay, recorded as a firm brown slightly sandy clay in the geotechnical boreholes, can be fairly confidently identified in the logs below ca. 2 to 3m bgl, perhaps indicating that significant thicknesses of gravel are unlikely to survive at the site. Depending on the likely depth of impact of the development at the site, and future access for either a larger mechanical excavator and/or boreholes, any future interventions should be put down to a minimum depth of 3.0m bgl to examine the sequence in more detail.
