Abstract:		 Archaeological field evaluation of land adjacent to the Climbers and Creepers Building at the western side of the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, Richmond TW9 3AG took place from 3rd to 14th August 2009. The evaluation was carried out as part of the planning process prior to proposed installation of new outdoor play equipment. Ten evaluation trenches (1 to 10) were excavated across the site. Trench 1, 2, 3 and 5 revealed simple stratigraphic sequences of topsoil or clearance debris over subsoil with natural sand and gravels being exposed in all these trenches, overlain with silt and sand alluvial sequences. Trench 1 and, 2 and 3 also revealed post-medieval or modern features, including a services trench and pit in Trench 2 and a failed tree pit in trench 3. Trenches 4, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 revealed sections of a wall of Tudor date, identified as part of the rectangular feature on the 1771 plan. Trench 4 revealed part of a red brick wall, dating to between 1620 to 1720, based on the assessment of the bricks, which were mostly of type 3033, although there were some examples of 3039 and later 3032 bricks. This structure was also uncovered in Trenches 5 to 10. This wall is deemed to be part of a rectangular structure, visible on Richardson's 1771 plan. Rocque's plan of 1748 shows the rectangular feature but also has an associated legend, naming the area as 'Gardens belong[ing] to [Lady Clinton]', suggesting the structure is a walled garden.
