Abstract:		 Between the 4th and 12th of June 2013 Compass Archaeology conducted an archaeological evaluation within the courtyard and garage of the premises of 94-96 Cheyne Walk, London Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. The works were undertaken in line with recommendations from English Heritage, pre-development of the site. The evaluation followed and earlier scheme of geotechnical pits monitored by Compass Archaeology in 2011. Several of these pits revealed a number of wall foundations, earlier made ground deposits and buried soil horizons. The proposed development includes the construction of a new double basement in the area of the courtyard and garage to a depth of 8m, and the evaluation was commissioned to determine, as far as is reasonably possible, the location, extent, date, character, condition, significance, and quality of any surviving archaeological remains liable to be threatened by the proposed redevelopment. In response two trenches were dug within the footprint of the proposed basement, and archaeological deposits were encountered from as little as 150mm below the present ground surface. These included 17th and 18-19th century wall footings, along with a metalled surface of crushed tile and pebbles which extended across the full extent of both trenches. The surface was sealed below a 250mm thick spread of silty made ground containing substantial quantities of 17th century pottery, suggesting that the metalled surface was probably associated with 17th, or earlier, 16th century, occupation. The presence of the yard surface across the entire area evaluated at this stage, suggests that it is probably quite extensive and may survive in situ across the entire footprint of the proposed basement. In this respect it has the potential to shed light on the earlier, potentially Tudor, exploitation of the site.
