Abstract:		 This report details the result of an archaeological trial hole evaluation on land at 100-102 Morden Road, Mitcham, London Borough of Merton, CR4. Six trial holes were excavated to assess if archaeological deposits relating to the nearby Saxon cemetery survived on the site, or whether the deposits had been quarried away in the 19th century, as shown on historic Ordnance Survey maps. The trial holes measured roughly 3m x 1.8 and were excavated vertically to the greatest depth possible given the site constraints. Natural gravel was recorded at 15.16m OD-15.65m OD in Trenches 1 and 4. Alluvium was noted in five of the interventions, the top of which was between 16.05m OD and 17.00m OD. In three of the trenches (Trenches 2, 4 and 6) a relict soil, possibly a plough or agricultural soil was identified c. 0.30m to 1.0m below ground level. All of the trenches found deposits of made ground ranging from 0.30m to more than 2.10m thick. Most of the trenches encountered ground water by c. 2.0m below ground level, and the extensive alluvial deposits also suggested that the site was located in the floodplain of the River Wandle, which runs close to the site. The evaluation found that whilst extensive truncation had taken place in Trenches 1, 3 and 5, Trenches 2,4 and 6 suggested that some archaeological horizons might survive on the site.
