Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation and watching brief was undertaken in advance of site redevelopment. The evaluation consisted of the recording of three geotechnical boreholes, the excavation of 11 test pits and the recording of a further 23 window sample boreholes. The boreholes indicated up to six metres of archaeological and palaeoenvironmental deposits below the main basement level of the development site. The test pits revealed varied truncation of archaeological deposits by building foundations, indeed the construction of the basement appeared to have destroyed all post-medieval archaeological deposits and extensively truncated medieval layers. Six of the test pits revealed no archaeological deposits as they were located in areas of deep truncation by recent activity. However, five of the test pits did expose a number of surviving layers and features of the medieval and Roman periods. These included pits, ditches and timber structures, in addition to a number of general dumping deposits. The window sampling mostly revealed deep footings and modern rubble but six of the boreholes revealed substantial archaeological and alluvial deposits and permitted an assessment of the location of the underlying Walbrook channel.
