Abstract:		 Pre-Construct Archaeology Limited carried out an archaeological watching at no. 26 Cheyne Row, Chelsea, which lies within an Archaeological Priority Area. The terraced house was built in 1708 and is a Grade II* listed building. The rear garden wall formed part of a 16th century boundary wall of a former Tudor Mansion and is Grade II listed. The watching brief was carried out in June and July 2018 following the demolition of a late 19th century and 1988 extension. Monitoring of the excavation work for the construction of a service void and utility area to the rear of the property revealed natural geological deposits (brickearth over Kempton Park gravel and sand). A truncated pit was observed to cut the natural brickearth and was overlain by a sandy silt layer. A circular pit, in turn, cut this layer. Both pits and the intervening layer did not contain any dateable artefacts. Other features found during the watching brief included the brick foundation walls of a mid-19th century extension and its replacement in the late 19th century. The watching brief also uncovered various drains and a brick silt trap. Artefacts from these features and related deposits included an 18th century clay pipe fragment as well as mainly 19th century pottery and glass fragments. Residual finds included 18th century glass and some 17th and 18th century clay tobacco pipe fragments. Brick and tile recovered from the Site were mainly 19th century in date, although some Tudor/Stuart pavers had been reused in later brickwork.
