Abstract:		 An archaeological investigation on the site of 103 Cheyne Walk was undertaken by Compass Archaeology in 2012. This followed an archaeological evaluation (Compass Archaeology, April 2011), which uncovered remains relating to the 18th - 20th century cottages on the site and part of an early 17th century semi-basement. This archaeological work was carried out as a condition of planning consent, before the construction of a double-basement (Planning Ref: PP/07/00912) Remains relating to the 18th - 20th century cottages which fronted onto Milman's Street, and remains of their backyards and the long north-south building fronting onto Cheyne Walk, were uncovered. The remains of an early 17th century kitchen semi-basement was uncovered in the south-eastern part of the site. This was very well-preserved, with a tiled floor and plastered walls. Within this semi-basement was an oven, a number of niches and cupboards, a well, a possible recessed window / lightwell, and a possible entrance-way. The shape of this semi-basement within the investigation area has been established, however it clearly continues to the south, to an unknown size. Unfortunately a precise date for the construction of the semi-basement has not been established, however the dating of the bricks suggests a c.1600 date. A 16th century north-south aligned red brick wall was also observed running the whole way across the site, both in below-ground excavations and within standing walls. This clearly pre-dates the semi-basement (based on the dating of the bricks and the fact that the semi-basement has been constructed against this standing wall). It is unclear precisely what this wall may have been part of, however it does lie within the area of Sir Thomas More's estate, such that it may have been a boundary wall of his garden, or something similar.
