Abstract:		 In February 2013 Archaeological Solutions Limited (AS) carried out an archaeological desk-based assessment of 79-81 and 81A High Street, Marlow, Buckinghamshire. The assessment was commissioned by Shanly Homes Ltd in support of proposals to redevelop the site to include five new dwellings and maintain two retail units. The assessment site is located on the High Street, one of the principal thoroughfares of the medieval and post-medieval historic core of the town. The latter is defined by a grid layout of burgage plots. Prior to the development of the medieval town only sparse prehistoric archaeology has been recorded, including Mesolithic flint found opposite the site. A Roman road and river crossing have been postulated in association with the High Street. A riverside settlement developed at Marlow in the late Saxon period, and excavations have produced 10th-11th century pottery that suggests the High Street may have been established in this period. In the medieval period burgage plots were laid out perpendicular to the High Street, with the modern site continuing to occupy one of these plots. The full extent of this early urban plan and the character of individual plots remain conjectured, in part based on excavated evidence from other High Street plots, therefore the site has a high potential to further address the characterisation of the development of Marlow. Early cartographic sources indicate a building occupied the site for at least part of the post-medieval period, before the existing Grade II Listed street frontage building was built in the early 19th century. The buildings and yards to the rear are repeatedly redeveloped in the late 19th to mid 20th centuries
