Abstract:		 The palaeotopography of the site in respect to the river channel was partially revealed showing a natural decline of alluvium towards the centre of the site at which the channel is believed to been at its deepest. Roman activity was represented on site by the presence of alluvium which contained some pottery datable to AD50-120. Residual Roman pottery and CBM was recovered from overlying layers. A single residual sherd of early Saxon pottery was recovered from a later medieval plough soil. Most significantly of all the remains of a chalk lined wall foundation were observed in Trench 1. It's location and size suggests that it likely forms the western limit of Brandon House, the 15th-16th century building that occupied the site and that later went on to come under the ownership of Henry VIII and subsequently the Royal Mint. The wall foundations were truncated during the mid 18th to early 19th century by a vaulted cellar that was constructed towards the north of the site in the area of Trench 1. Towards the west of the site, where Trench 6 was located, appears to have avoided any significant truncation at all with the sequence progressing undisturbed from the late 19th century through to the Roman period and beyond. The 20th century basements were backfilled with an ashy deposit.
