Abstract:		 The development site is situated upon on the former location of the Victorian Rosherville Gardens, constructed in the 1840s on a disused chalk pit. The gardens enjoyed a period of prosperity in the mid to late 19th century, eventually falling into decline and permanently closed in the mid 1930s. The gardens were levelled and replaced with the W T Henley Cable Works, which have recently been demolished. The Stage 1 trial trenching exercise comprised three trenches excavated to establish whether any structures relating to Rosherville Gardens survive on site despite levelling in the mid 20th century and recent remediation associated with the demolition of the Cable Works. A buried soil, ornamental wall and the possible remains of a shell path were observed towards the north of the site in Trench 1 and may represent an old ground surface possibly associated with flowerbeds or later allotments. The remains of a circular structure and associated walls were uncovered towards the centre of the site in Trench 2 and appear to be the remains of the Bear Pit - a well known feature within Rosherville Gardens. Trench 3, to the south of the site, revealed no archaeological deposits. The stage 2 trial trenching comprised 4 trenches (Trenches 4-7) and extensions to Trench 2. These were excavated to establish the extent to which structures relating to Rosherville Gardens survived on site and to provide sufficient data and interpretation to inform a Statement of Significance on the surviving heritage assets
