Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Pre-Construct Archaeology Limited on land at the site of the former Riversdell House, Guildford Street, Chertsey, Surrey. The watching brief demonstrated that much of the site had been previously developed by the construction of Riversdale House in the early 1990s, and by previous development in the 1960s/1970s which had severely impacted any potential surviving archaeological deposits. The archaeological work was to monitor the remediation of contaminated ground which involving excavting one trench, later extended, down to 2.60m below ground. This in advance of the proposed redevelopment of the site as a hotel. Only limited evidence for the post-medieval period was observed during the investigation; the remains of a garden soil layer and the remains of a shelly mortar layer both believed to have been associated with the gardens of Cowley House, the 17th century home of the poet Abraham Cowley, demolished in the 1970s. Natural alluvial deposits of clays, peat and silty clayey sand were recorded; evidence of the sites close proximity to the River Bourne. No evidence for any prehistoric, Roman, medieval or early post-medieval activity was observed during this investigation.
