Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	The excavation took place principally within the footprint of the proposed basement which occupy most of the area of the site (Trench 3), following an earlier evaluation in October 2019 which identified a series of undated cut features which were interpreted as prehistoric. Geologically the site was underlain by natural sandy gravel (Kempton Park Gravel) encountered in all areas of excavation across the site. Untruncated natural was first recorded in the south part of the site during the 2019 evaluation between 0.74m OD and 0.83m OD in Trenches 1 and 2 respectively. The 2020 excavation of Trench 3 recorded untruncated natural sandy gravel at 0.68m OD towards the southeast corner of the trench, whilst the remaining of the natural horizon in the rest of Trench 3 was truncated by modern activity. However, the excavation found evidence for a palaeochannel orientated north-east to south-west located towards the southeast corner of Trench 3. The palaeochannel was in turn sealed by a layer of undated sandy clay, previously recorded during the evaluation, which was interpreted as part of an alluvial deposit following the periodical flooding of the site. However, this layer which sealed the postulated prehistoric horizon during the evaluation was found to be mostly truncated across Trench 3. 1.5 The archaeological evidence for the earliest human activity in Trench 3 was recorded in the east part of the site where a series of brick lined structures were interpreted as 19th century soak away later reused, alongside other purposely build features, for the disposal of domestic waste during the second half of the 19th century.
