Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken between the 9th and 14th March 2016 in the north-west corner of the Excalibur Estate, Lewisham, SE6. The area under investigation had been cleared of housing and was an open space with the former road system still in existence. The archaeological works consisted of 12 trial trenches located around the development footprint. The trenches measured between 4.45m and 21m in length x c2m in width x a maximum of 1.70m in depth (37.22mOD). The general stratigraphy observed in all 12 trenches comprised a mid-brown topsoil abundant with fragments of CBM and modern detritus, above a darker brown silty soil overlying natural orange clay with frequent gravel inclusions. The natural was encountered at a depth of between 38.79mOD (Trench 9, SW corner of the site) and 37.47mOD (Trench 6, NE corner of the site). Some variation in the stratigraphy was observed, taken to be a result of groundworks completed on the site in the 20th century associated with the construction and subsequent clearing of the estate. No archaeological finds or features were recorded.
