Abstract:		 Archaeological monitoring took place between 27th November 2007and 19th June 2008 on land adjacent to 4a Bramley Close, South Croydon on the proposed site of a new five bedroom house. Both prehistoric and Roman activity has previously been uncovered within approximately 400m from the site. The site is situated on the northern periphery of the estate grounds of Haling Manor, with records relating to this dating from the 13th century. No development has taken place on this site prior to the construction of 4a Bramley Close and outbuildings in the 20th century. Historically this area has been used as parkland, gardens and potentially agriculture for at least the past 600 years. The site was irregular in plan and measured approximately 34m long (east to west) and 27m wide (north to south) with a total area of approximately 918 square metres. Groundworks constituted the excavation of foundation trenches along the footprint of the new development and excavation of a utilities trench leading from the house to the site entrance. A total trench length of just less than 65m was observed to a depth no greater than 1.2m. The trenches exposed simple sequences of dump deposits, made ground, a burnt horizon and bio-turbated soil profiles. These overlaid predominantly clayey silts and gravel (to the east) natural deposits from approximately 300mm below the current ground level. In some of the trenches, between the topsoil and the subsoil there was a thin layer of mixed gravels and chalk. It is likely that this represents a stripping of the surface during construction work in the area, before the replacement of the topsoil. Evidence for 20th century outbuildings, garden structures and garages were visible in several sections but were of very low archaeological significance. No significant archaeological finds or features were observed during the programme of observation and recording.
