Abstract:		 The evaluation comprised the investigation of seven test pits located within the basement of the building. Four of the test pits were specifically designated for archaeological investigation and three for geotechnical purposes to assess the nature and depth of the building foundations. The results of the field evaluation have helped to refine the initial assessment of the archaeological potential of the site. Natural gravel and sand was found in all but one of the test pits and found immediately below the basement slab. The earliest archaeological survival was evidenced by a Saxon pit cutting the natural deposits. A possible late medieval chalk wall was recorded on the south side of the site in 156 Strand. Within the same property, below the north wall an east-west 17th century brick foundation wall, constructed out of reused medieval bricks was recorded. The latest evidence represented was coal hole of late 19th or early 20th century.
