Abstract:		 Archaeological work was undertaken by Pre-Construct Archaeology Limited at Gunnersbury Mews, Chiswick in the London Borough of Hounslow, W4 4AN between 8th - 10th April 2013. The evaluation consisted of three trenches, Trench 1 towards the north and Trench 2 and 3 within a grassed area to the south away from Chiswick High Road. Prior to the archaeological evaluation a geotechnical survey was undertaken on site which revealed that the Kempton Park gravel formation was present at a depth of 0.80m - 0.90m below ground level (bgl) towards the south of the site. However, towards the north, the borehole log reveals its presence at a depth of 2.30m bgl, indicating that a high degree of truncation has occurred in this area. The archaeological evaluation appeared to confirm the findings of the geotechnical survey. Trench 1 demonstrated that natural sands and gravels had been horizontally truncated in the post-medieval period. Subsequent to this a layer of agricultural soil was established, into which a feature was cut which was dated to the 17th century. Overlying this was a later layer of horticultural soil which appears to date to the 18th-19th century. Towards the south of the site natural brickearth was seen to overlie the Kempton Park formation in Trench 3, however this had been truncated towards the north in Trench 2. 19th century made ground sealed the earlier horizons these trenches. Trench 2 was heavily truncated towards the northern end by 19th-20th century services. Subsequently a watching brief was undertaken in order to further investigate the cut feature observed in Trench 1. An area was machine excavated around the location of the evaluation trench in order to locate and ascertain further information concerning the size, trajectory and nature of the cut feature. The investigations revealed the cut feature to be a large quarry pit relating to gravel/brickearth extraction activity during the 17th-18th centuries.
