Abstract:		 In March 2014 Compass Archaeology were commissioned to conduct a watching brief during groundworks associated with the construction of a new propagation glasshouse at the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew. The watching brief confirmed the presence of the wall observed in Trench 1 of an earlier evaluation, (2010), within 300mm of the ground surface, and that it survived in a relatively good condition, (probably for a considerable depth). It also illustrated that the majority of the site was devoid of archaeologically significant deposits. The presence of made ground is not exceptional and is natural given the level of modern development within the immediate vicinity. The natural geology was observed from as little as 300mm below ground level, with no obvious signs of previous soil horizons or profiles. This would suggest that the area had been 'scalped' prior to the creation of the present ground surface. Nothing else of note was recorded or observed during the watching brief.
