Abstract:		 Between the 23rd January and 15th February 2017, Compass Archaeology conducted an archaeological watching brief on the junction of The Mall and Marlborough Road, SW1A 1BG during groundwork associated with highway improvement works. The programme of archaeological works entailed the monitoring and recording of excavations for the installation of lighting columns, traffic signal poles and ducting for new cables. The excavations made up c. 125m of trenching, generally 0.60m wide and 0.20-0.75m deep. The stratigraphy was homogeneous, comprising 0.10m thick red asphalt, overlying 0.08m thick black asphalt. This was bedded in a concrete layer 0.22-0.26m thick with a mid-brown silty sand underneath. The extent of this layer is unknown. Some modern ceramic building material and moulded decorative stones were found, along with some post-medieval pottery and other small finds. No features of archaeological interest were found, probably due to the depth of the excavation. The lowest level recorded was 5.75m OD.
