Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Border Archaeology (BA) was instructed by Southwark Council to undertake an Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment (ADBA) with regard to the redevelopment of the Old Peckham Library site at 167 Peckham Hill Street London SE15 5JZ. The proposed development entails the construction of a four-storey building with community facilities to be provided on the ground floor with self-contained residential accommodation on the floors above. This ADBA assesses the impact of the proposed development on buried heritage assets (archaeological remains). It forms an initial stage of investigation of the proposed development site and may be required in relation to the planning process, so that the local planning authority can formulate an appropriate response in the light of the impact upon any known or potential heritage assets. These are parts of the historic environment which are considered to be significant because of their historic, evidential or aesthetic and/or communal interest. Summary Conclusion & Recommendations: The overall potential of the site in archaeological terms has been assessed as Moderate to High with particular reference to encountering medieval and post-medieval remains associated with the settlement of Peckham Village. The potential for prehistoric and Romano-British remains has been assessed as Low to Moderate. However, it is BA’s considered opinion that, prima facie, based on the available evidence, the archaeological potential of the site does not present an impediment to the development. Recommendations: Given the archaeological potential of the site it is reasonable to conclude that an appropriate programme of archaeological work, the details of which to be agreed with the senior archaeological officer at Southwark Council will be necessary to determine the extent, depth and significance of buried archaeological features and deposits across the site.
