Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Geoarchaeological investigations were carried out in order to clarify the nature of the sub-surface stratigraphy, in particular the presence and thickness of Alluvium and Peat across the site, and to evaluate the potential of the sedimentary sequences for reconstructing the environmental history of the site and its environs. In order to achieve this aim, a programme of deposit modelling was carried out, incorporating previous geotechnical borehole descriptions and records from eight new geoarchaeological boreholes. The results of the investigations demonstrated that an east-west aligned possible channel feature consistent with the mapped 20th century course of the Teville Stream can be identified at the site. The Gravel surface within the feature falls below 1.2m OD, to as low as between 0.08 and 0.10m OD on its main axis. Within the feature only one borehole recorded predominantly mineral-rich Holocene Alluvium, with an indication of low-energy fluvial deposition within the channel between 0.08 and 0.16m OD prior to the deposition of floodplain Alluvium between 0.53 and 0.16m OD. The Made Ground is thicker within this feature, perhaps reflecting the in-fill of the channel during the first half of the 20th century. There is no evidence within the channel for organic sediments or Peat. The borehole records have thus demonstrated that the palaeoenvironmental potential of the sequences at the site is very limited, and as a consequence no further environmental archaeological investigations were recommended.
