Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Archaeological observations made during geotechnical investigations at the Chelsea College of Art and Design, revealed remains of the precinct wall of the Millbank Penitentiary. These remains took the form of the red brick walls and floors supported on 'ring beam' type foundations of massed concrete. The structure survived from 0.75m below the current ground surface to a depth of 6.20m. The remains comprised the foundations and below ground rooms/cells of Pentagon on Nos. 5 and 6 of the prison. The areas of greatest survival were shown to be the corner towers, of which there were two in the central car park and one other on the western extreme of the site. The areas of poorest survival appeared to be the long stretches of straight wall between these corner towers. In places these walls were entirely missing and only the foundation slab remained. The foundation slab itself was shown by coring to be approximately 3.20m thick and, although the trenches did not extend sufficiently far to investigate the inside of the pentagons, it was thought that they measured approximately 14.0m wide. The foundation for Pentagon No. 5 extended for a length of approximately 91.0m across the site whilst that for Pentagon No. 6 extended for 69.0m. These prison foundations overlay Thames alluvial sequences. [Au(abr)]
