Abstract:		 An archaeological desk-based assessment was undertaken as a result of a planning application for a largely residential development. The study found that this part of Pimlico was marshland during the prehistoric period and for a long time afterwards. Layers of peat marsh at a considerable depth below current ground level dated to various prehistoric periods and a few scattered early prehistoric finds had been recovered from the area but no major concentrations were found near the site. A major concentration of finds from the construction of Chelsea Bridge in the 19th century seemed to have been a product of some very local circumstances. There was no evidence of settlement nearby in the later prehistoric or Roman periods, after which time the area continued to be used for agricultural purposes until the late post-medieval period. Only a few farms and other buildings predated the Grosvenor Estates in Pimlico and Belgravia. Since the late-19th century the site was used for housing. The existing and previously existing buildings had some minor basementing in them and several blocks at the southern end were badly damaged by World War II bombing. As finds were unlikely and the prehistoric marshes were at a depth below the new development foundations, no further archaeological work was recommended. [Au(adp)]
