Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken at 155 Gray's Inn Road, Camden, WC1X 8UE, within the London Borough of Camden. It was undertaken in response to a condition attached to full planning permission for the redevelopment of the site. The watching brief monitored a north-south transect running across the entire length of the development area. This was stripped by machine under archaeological control to expose any archaeological remains and allow their systematic investigation and recording. The work proceeded until no further archaeological horizons were present. A laminated deposit of natural clay, sand and gravel was found at the base of the sequence, which probably represents Hackney Gravel. It was sealed by brickearth, which only survived in the far southern end of the watching brief trench. This was truncated by a series of intercutting early to mid post-medieval pits, dug for the purpose of gravel and brickearth extraction. These were sealed by a later ground raising deposits and a gravel surface, which in turn were truncated by another gravel extraction pit. Ground raising and levelling layers and a rubble filled pit were found at the top of the archaeological sequence, which are probably associated with the late 18th to early 19th century terraced housing that surrounds the site.
