Abstract:		 The desk-based assessment was undertaken in support of a planning application for the redevelopment of the site. The site lay within a Conservation Area but did not include any Listed Buildings and did not lie within a designated Area of Archaeological Priority, although it was adjacent to the Tyburn Settlement Area of Archaeological Priority. Documentary, geological, archival and cartographic sources indicated that the site appeared to have limited archaeological potential. Prior to the existing buildings 18th and 19th century land-use was characterised by retail and residential use and before this there was no evidence for building on the site, which had been pastureland. The underlying drift geology was Taplow Gravel in which Palaeolithic stone tools were sometimes found, the nearest site was in Trafalgar Square and probably didn't extend as far as Dolcis House. The proposed development would involve ground reduction of c.1m across the site, with limited deeper excavation to facilitate ground beams and piled foundations. Site investigation test pits and bore holes examined and recorded by AOC Archaeology demonstrated that late post-medieval structural remains and deposits had survived at the site. [Au(abr)]
