Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken during the refurbishment and extension of the Egyptian Embassy. Monitoring of groundworks revealed extensive modern disturbance in the area of the former Embassy buildings with made ground survival limited to the area of the former gardens which were to be subject to piling and excavation for a new basement. The archaeological sequence was made up of a reworked soil deposit on top of redeposited brickearth, the anticipated natural geological deposits. No evidence of prehistoric, Roman or medieval activity was found. Post-medieval remains consisted of a garden soil and evidence for the original perimeter boundary, including a length of curving red brick wall which could have related to the layout of the 18th century ornamental gardens for Dorchester House.
