Abstract:		 An archaeological desk-based assessment was undertaken in relation to the consideration of any future development of the site. The site lay within an Archaeological Priority Zone, but did not contain any SAMs or Listed Buildings and was not within a Conservation Area. There were, however, numerous entries in the GLSMR within a 250m radius of the site, the majority of which related to the establishment and adaptation of Lambeth Palace and its grounds, the seat of the Archbishopric of England from the late 12th century AD. It was clear from historic maps that the site was built upon by the mid-18th century and documentary sources relating to earlier street names in the area inferred that the medieval residence of the Bishops of Rochester and subsequently Carlisle was located within this area. It was this building and potential associated medieval and early post-medieval activity that possessed the highest degree of archaeological significance for the site. Whether prehistoric peat deposits and buried land horizons from the Neolithic to the early Bronze Age period may have existed beneath present ground and basement surfaces would need to be considered by geotechnical survey. Archaeological excavations to the immediate north of the site within Addington Street revealed such material. [Au(abr)]
