Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Pre-Construct Archaeology Limited was commissioned by Oak Trading Company Limited to carry out a pro-active archaeological Observation and Recording exercise at the Stableyard, 16a Balham Hill, London Borough of Wandsworth. The site once formed the stableyard of the George Inn (now the Avalon) next door. This coaching Inn is not shown on the 1760 Rocque map and is shown on an 1829 map. The 19th century stableyard buildings on the site had been recorded by Pre-Construct Archaeology in July 2016 and demolished before the pro-active archaeological monitoring took place in November and December 2016. It was conducted in accordance with the Written Scheme of Investigation, which specified that groundworks in an area of the site that had previously not been disturbed by former buildings would be monitored. This area roughly equated to Trench 5. In addition, an extra area (Trench 6) was also monitored. The monitoring exercise established that the lowest deposit in both trenches was a natural geological horizon of clay with gravel. Three 19th century brick features were revealed: an east-west drain, a small remnant of possible flooring and an L-shaped wall foundation. These features were thought to relate to the 19th century outbuildings of the George Inn. The trenches also contained two post-medieval build up layers. The lower of the two appears to have accumulated over a period of time from the late 17th century to the end of the 19th century. The overlying layer was covered with a modern 20th century man made horizon.
