Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	A Walkover Survey and Watching Brief was undertaken prior to the excavation of a trench for underpinning the river wall directly under the Mayflower Public House in Rotherhithe. The Walkover Survey conducted on the 20th June was made to make a photographic survey of the exposed timbers and structures on the foreshore. During the 2nd to the 4th of July 2018 a three-day Watching Brief took place during the excavation of the trench and a number of Post Medieval finds were recovered from the lower gravels. Two residual prehistoric flints were part of the assemblage. The survey and plan revealed 5 phases and 3 distinct structures on the immediate foreshore. The earliest structure was a collection of heavily eroded posts which may have been the remains of a fish trap but this is uncertain: the timbers remain unclassified and undated. The second phase and structure was the remains of a gridiron consisting of three land ties and a horizontal plank. A foreshore revetment consisting of a line of squared timbers were dated to the Post Medieval to Modern period. This revetment provided the foundation for a raised timber platform that supported a decking area to the rear of the Mayflower, recorded as structure 4. Finally, dumped layers of pebbles and gravel had been introduced to prevent erosion to the foreshore in recent times.
