Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd at 5 Paultons Square, Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, SW3 5AP, between the 3rd of November 2009 and the 10th of May 2010. The work was commissioned by CgMs Consulting on behalf of Andrew and Caroline Fisher. The groundworks for the proposed development involved the underpinning of the garden walls in preparation for the construction of a subterranean extension to the existing property which will eventually run underneath the full length of the garden. The archaeological impact of the proposed works was mitigated by a watching brief undertaken during the ground reduction phase as specified in a Specification (Darton 2009) prepared for the project. The investigation revealed evidence of large post-medieval pits which were cut through to natural strata (sands and gravels) for a predominant part of the garden. The purpose of these pits is likely to have been a combination of quarrying and rubbish disposal. No archaeological features pre-dating the post-medieval period were encountered during the watching brief, and no further work is recommended.
