Abstract:		 A single c 4m by 1m by 1.4m deep trench was excavated by contractors to reveal 19th-century refuse dumps sealed by the corner of a building with a concrete floor. The building probably relates to wharfs known on the site in the late 19th century. Natural deposits and alluvium were not seen in the limited excavation and no deposits dating earlier than the 19th century were observed. Modern structures were 0.10m thick. Alluvium was not seen (the trench being 1.4m deep)The corner of what is probably part of a late 19th-century wharf building was recorded in the trench. The building consisted of two walls, rendered with concrete, above a concrete floor. The building may have been part of Town Mead Wharf shown on the 1898 OS map. The deposits recorded in the trench suggest that there was some land raising as a result of the demolition of the buildings formerly on the site. It appears that the modern slab was built directly on the demolition deposits resulting from the destruction of those buildings; the demolition deposits were 0.70m thick. The earliest deposits identified were refuse dumps dating to the 19th century The latest archaeological deposits related to the demolition of the 19th-century building recorded in the trench. Whilst the archaeological remains are of local significance, there is nothing to suggest that they are of regional or national importance. The local significance relates to the development of the site in the late 19th century from agricultural to industrial wharf use, as part of a more widespread process of development that included the construction of Wandsworth Bridge to the immediate east of the site and the expansion of the town. The results will contribute to planning further archaeological works on the site to address the planning condition.
