Abstract:		 On the 24th of February Compass Archaeology conducted an archaeological evaluation at 20 West Street, and the rear of nos. 14-28 West Street, Erith London Borough of Bexley. The works were undertaken in accordance with the planning condition attached to the development of the site as a stage 1 preliminary archaeological investigation. Two trial trenches were dug, trench 1 measured 8.35m in length and 1.85m in width at its greatest extent and trench 2 measuring 8.25m in length and 1.8m in width at its greatest extent. The stratigraphy in trench 1 can be summarised as made ground deposited over natural, and trench 2 had made ground sealing a buried soil overlying natural. The buried soil (206), which produced mid-19th century pottery, may reflect the utilisation of the site as an orchard at this time. The dating of the pottery in the made ground deposit (205) to the early 20th century is likely indicative of the later terracing of the site potentially in tandem with the development of a British Legion Club and dancehall on the site, first erected in 1926/7. The natural in trench 1 was first encountered at approximately 730mm below ground level (8.10mOD), whilst that in trench 2 was much lower at 1.3m below ground level (7.04mOD). As these stage 1 works have demonstrated the negligible potential for archaeological remains at the site, it is proposed that a further stage 2 archaeological investigation is not required.
