Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by CCURV LLP to undertake an archaeological evaluation on land to the rear of the former Propeller Public House, Waylands Day Centre and Red Gates and Waddon Schools, London Borough of Croydon. The evaluation comprised machine excavation of seven trial trenches in advance of a mixed use development. Of the trenches, five were excavated in the northern part of the Site. Evidence of ground levelling and disturbance associated with 20th century buildings was recorded in these trenches and no archaeological features were observed. Trenches 3 and 7 were located in the southern part of the Site, on higher ground. In Trench 3, modern layers overlay thick deposits of topsoil, subsoil and colluvium. A feature was recorded to be cutting the natural chalk. However, the depth of the trench exceeded 1.5m and prevented further investigation of the feature. It is possible that it represents a backfilled quarry and sites of chalk quarrying were mapped in the vicinity of the Site. In Trench 7, a small ring gully was excavated. Due to the overburden overlaying the natural deposits, it was contaminated with modern building rubble. The gully contained fragments of ceramic material including one possibly Roman body sherd. The evaluation demonstrated there is little potential for the presence and survival of archaeological features in the northern part of the Site. There is a higher potential for the presence of archaeological features in the southern part of the Site. However, due to the possible quarrying and modern structures, the potential features might be in poor condition and truncated for much of their extent.
