Abstract:		 The work comprised the excavation of 115 machine dug trenches. The natural deposits, comprising London Clay and Lambeth Group deposits, were recorded between 61.05m and 68.80m aOD. The natural deposits were sealed by topsoil with subsoil also present in the south and west of the site. In the centre and south of the site, disturbance was evident from the recent demolition of building in this part of the site, with made ground overlying the natural deposits. The evaluation uncovered evidence ditches and gullies, most of which could not be dated Two of the ditches contained abraded sherds of medieval pottery suggesting their origin lay in this period; both features correspond to field boundaries depicted on 19th and 20th century cartographic sources suggesting they remained in use until this time. Some of the undated ditches could also be tied into historic maps of the same period. The remaining gullies are likely to have been for drainage on what remains a very damp site. A single isolated pit of medieval date contained the majority of finds from the site. It lay some distance from any known medieval settlements and the lack of surrounding features make any interpretation difficult. Overall, the site appears to have lain within marginal farmland during the medieval and post-medieval periods. The paucity of dating evidence from the ditches suggests it was not extensively utilised, the marshy ground making it unattractive for agriculture.
