Abstract:		 A programme of geoarchaeological fieldwork and deposit modelling was undertaken at the Ibis Budget site in order to (1) clarify the nature of the sub-surface stratigraphy across the site, including the depth, thickness and extent of the major stratigraphic units; and (2) to evaluate the potential of the sedimentary sequences for reconstructing the environmental history of the site and its environs. The results of the deposit modelling indicate that the sediments recorded at the site are similar to those recorded elsewhere in this area of the Lower Thames Valley, with Late Devensian Shepperton Gravel overlain by a sequence of Holocene alluvial sediments, including peat, and buried beneath modern Made Ground. In contradiction to the MoLAS (2002) investigations, no Gravel 'highs' were identified underlying the site; the highest Gravel surface identified here was -3.9m OD. As a result, the prehistoric archaeological potential of the Gravel surface is considered to be very low, and no soil horizons associated with a higher Gravel surface can be expected at the site (and were not identified during the monitoring of two new geotechnical boreholes). The palaeoenvironmental potential of the alluvial sequence is considered to be high, since a thick peat horizon was identified at levels between ca. -0.5 and -3.5m OD. However, this peat horizon was investigated during the previous work undertaken by MoLAS (2002). Although the levels in the MoLAS (2002) report are considered here to be incorrect, the peat was radiocarbon dated to the early Neolithic (4370 to 3960 cal BC) to middle Bronze Age (1520 to 1200 cal BC). On the basis of existing palaeoenvironmental data from sites nearby, including at London City Airport (Young et al., 2018), and those forthcoming from the Former Camel Works site (in prep.), no further palaeoenvironmental assessment of the sequence at the Ibis Budget site is recommended.
