Abstract:		 The desk-based assessment considered the archaeological potential of the site, and the likley impact on this of the proposed redevelopment, the main component of which was the construction of a new building incorporating four levels of basements, across the entire site outline. Probable archaeological deposits and features consisted, in summary, of possible middle Saxon activity behind the waterfront areas, remains of the medieval Strand Inn and the Tudor palace and gardens of Old Somerset House. The survival of medieval and post-medieval remains had already been established during archaeological monitoring on previous geotechnical pits. The principal impact of the proposed works would involve the removal of all archaeological deposits and features which had survived beneath the existing ground slab and its make-up. The report concluded that further investigation may be necessary to clarify the exact nature and depth of such deposits. This evaluation could take place at the same time as future geotechnical investigations undertaken by the developer. [Au(abr)]
