Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd during a geotechnical investigation at Ponton Road, Nine Elms, in the London Borough of Wandsworth. The geotechnical work included trial pits and boreholes. The watching brief observed a sequence comprising of a layer of alluvium sealing natural terrace gravel. A silty ground build-up, or colluvium, which could be interpreted as an agricultural soil horizon, overlay the alluvial deposits; finds have dated the colluvium to at least the early post-medieval period. This was below late post-medieval to modern demolition layers and made ground. Additionally foundation structures and a basement or cellar, likely to form part of or relate to the nineteenth century brewery house, were uncovered, along with a portion of a structure of unknown function or origin that could potentially pre-date this. A post-medieval well or cesspit was located towards the northern perimeter of the site and towards the south a substantial layer of brickearth was observed between a layer of agricultural soil and alluvial deposits. One of the borehole investigations also revealed what appeared to be a fill (or series of fills) contained within a deep cut truncating the natural gravels.
