Abstract:		 An archaeological desk-based assessment was undertaken prior to the proposed redevelopment of the site. Because all the properties on the site had a single basement, it was safe to assume that virtually all, if not all, of any possible archaeological remains would have been removed. Research revealed that a small Roman settlement might have existed nearby and that in the medieval period, before the construction of the Great Windmill in the late 16th century, the site was fields. Whilst the basements would have removed any remains, which may have related to these periods, there was a chance that foundation traces of the windmill or associated buildings, may exist beneath the foundations of the buildings fronting on to Great Windmill Street, especially the Lyric Pub. However, the building materials would probably have been recovered when the windmill was demolished. Palaeolithic remains consisting of 12 struck flints had been found within a 200m radius of the site. This was not a large number considering the size of the area but it may have been considered sufficient to justify testing the subsoil against the published criteria of English Heritage for evaluating such remains.
