Abstract:		 Compass Archaeology conducted an Archaeological Watching Brief located at Wolsey Mews Garages, London Borough of Camden, NW5 2DX on the 31st May 2017, 5th June 2017, and the 8th to the 10th January 2018. The watching brief was monitoring the overall reduction of the site, followed by the excavation of the basement of a new build property. The stratigraphy recorded across the site was commensurate with the known archaeological sequence of the area. The upper site reduction revealed layers of topsoil and made ground indicative of the gardens that lay over the site until the Second World War. Two brick wall foundations aligned N-S potentially indicate the positions of the garden walls that split the site in two. The lower excavation revealed stratigraphy generally comprising natural River Terrace Deposits which ranged from brown clay to red gravels. These deposits came down on to weathered London Clay, the natural geology in the area. The existence of the modern concrete and area of burnt rubble within the gravel layers imply post-medieval disturbance of those areas. No finds or features of great archaeological significance were encountered during either phase of the watching brief. A few post-medieval/modern finds, including pottery and CBM were recovered. The natural was encountered at 32.4mOD.
