Abstract:		 Work was carried out in advance of the Tate Centenary Development and was conducted between 1997-2000 and allocated the site code MBK 97. The earliest deposits recorded on site were layers of peat and alluvium recorded during the initial watching brief on geotechnical trenches. The peat was dated to the late Neolithic period. The post-medieval period on site was represented by the remains of Millbank Penitentiary which was opened in 1821. The penitentiary was flower-shaped and comprised of six pentagons surrounding an inner hexagon with a chapel at its centre. The prison was three stories high, with basements in some pentagons and was the first 'super-prison' of its day. Evidence relating to the prison was recorded on site in the form of large exterior walls, internal walls, rooms and a complex of drainage culverts. The demolition of Millbank Penitentiary in 1892 was to make way for the erection of Henry Tate's National Gallery of Art in 1897, which occupies the site today.
