Abstract:		 One evaluation trench measuring 9m long by 4m wide and 1.95 deep was excavated at the northern end of the site. The slab was broken out and cleared by contractors under MOLA direction and excavated to the top of the alluvium under the supervision of the MOLA supervisor. The on-site archaeological work comprised of auger holes through the base of the trench to recover the full Holocene sequence from the floodplain gravels up to the base of the trench. The Ordnance Datum (OD) of the ground level was obtained from the Existing Site Survey and the depth of the contacts between each sedimentary unit encountered were converted to OD levels. Evaluation and auger sampling of a trench that produced evidence of a Pleistocene channel, c 6.50m below current level at -4.40m OD and part of the southern slope of the Horsleydown eyot (island). Sediment logged in the auger holes revealed the changing environment from marginal wetland to peats from the Mesolithic to the Bronze Age period. Later deposition revealed reclamation and management via drainage ditches in the medieval period. Subsequent flooding of the area was resolved through further reclamation in the 17th century and use of the land for agricultural purposes, which continued into the 18th century/early 19th century, when the land was used to construct a building, used for industrial purposes in the early 19th century.
