Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Pre-Construct Archaeology Limited was commissioned by J. Ollif and Son to carry out an archaeological watching brief during groundworks at the London and Brighton Public House site, 139 Queens Road, Peckham, London Borough of Southwark, centred on OS NGR TQ 34595 76760. The watching brief was undertaken as a condition of planning permission for the demolition of the public house and the erection of a four storey replacement building. The watching brief was undertaken in October and November 2013. Eight areas or trenches were monitored. Brick earth was observed in the southern part of the site. A further 0.5m of brick earth was removed during the groundworks. A posthole was observed in plan in the base of a trench in the south-west corner of the site. This posthole presumably pre-dated the mid 19th century part of the London and Brighton Public House, which overlay it. However, its fill contained 20th century Fletton brick fragments and it was thought that these may have fallen in from the nearby trench side. A friable dark greyish brown silty clay overlay the brick earth across the site apart from areas that had previously been basements. This friable silty clay was interpreted as former topsoil. Eighteenth and early nineteenth century maps show that the site was situated in a large field laid out as a market garden. This agricultural soil was some 0.56 to 0.75m deep and was sealed by crushed building rubble from the recently demolished public house or modern surfaces.
