Abstract:		 An evaluation was conducted by PCA on the George IV pub, Pinner, Harrow between 9th and 11th June 2014, commissioned by Mills Whipp Consulting on behalf of Croft Capital and was monitored by, Gillian King. The works comprised the excavation of two test trenches. The lowest levels were seen 5m below ground level. These are Lambeth Group geological deposits. Overlying these were thick alluvial deposits from the River Pinn, the course of which would have dominated the palaeotopography of the area. Associated with these alluvial deposits were sometimes thick gravel. To the south of the public house and the associated truncation caused by its cellar, a natural gravel lense was seen to be overlain by a thin alluvial layer. This was thought to represent the highest level of naturally occurring materials that may have yielded archaeological cut features from the prehistoric period. This was cleaned and investigated with only later post-medieval features, most likely associated with the public house, observed. Post-medieval ground raising and modern deposits completed the archaeological sequence. The results of the works prove the survival of an intact geoarchaeological sequence across the site where not part truncated by the cellar. Although raised gravel banks potentially represent favourable settlement locations for prehistoric communities, no archaeological results from this period were observed. The only period represented in the works was the post-medieval and this by a soak-way and pit cuts most likely associated with the public house.
