Abstract:		 The watching brief revealed several layers to a depth of 2.3m of post-medieval infill containing demolition material but little domestic waste. The dating is undiagnostic, but the building material of the earliest layer is probably post-Tudor, while a later layer had a small quantity of clay tobacco pipe stem and flower pot, and can be ascribed a post-Tudor date with more confidence. The combined thickness of the layers containing cultural material suggests something other than housebuilding, and it is possible that the deeper parts of the investigation were within the moat that surrounded Richmond Palace. This is recorded as having been backfilled during the extension of the Palace by Henry VII (1485-1509). While this would not fit with the post-Tudor probable date of the cultural material in the layers, the moat may not have been completely backfilled at that time. There was no direct evidence for the cut of the moat, but this is to be expected in such a small investigation. Alternatively the remains could represent a number of episodes of development of the site for housing, until the present house was built. The Palace was demolished in the Commonwealth period, and following an unsuccessful attempt to rebuild the Palace by Charles II the ruins were sub-divided and sold. If this is the case, the reason the ground was disturbed to such a depth is not known.
