Abstract:		 On the 30th-31st May 2018 Compass Archaeology undertook an archaeological watching brief on groundworks at 77 Runnymede, Colliers Wood, London Borough of Merton, SW19 2PQ, commissioned by the Site Owner as part of a planning condition imposed by Merton Council due to the sites location within the Wandle/Colliers Wood Riverside Industries Archaeological Priority Zone (APZ), and it's close proximity to the Scheduled Ancient Monument of Merton Priory (SAM ref: 1001976). The watching brief comprised the observation and recording of eight hand dug pits, placed at even intervals along both sides of the length of the site. The pits measured 1.6m (NW-SE side) by 1m (SW-NE) and between 1m to 1.27m deep. The stratigraphy was the same across all seven pits and comprised a layer of mid- to dark brown silty topsoil with frequent rooting, underlying this was a layer of modern made ground, containing frequent inclusions of brick, concrete, wood, glass, metal, clinker and yellow sand. Underlying the made ground was the natural geology, a dark brown organic silt, seen at c.12.60mOD at the highest point. The layer of made ground appears marked on the British Geological Survey: Sheet 270 as 'worked ground and made ground', indicating the likelihood that this deposit was dumped over the natural alluvium in the 1940s-50s to provide a level base for the construction of the housing estate which includes Runnymede. No archaeological remains were found and there was no evidence of any previous occupation of the site.
