Abstract:		 Between December 2017 and January 2019, Compass Archaeology undertook a watching brief during the development of a new Children's Garden at the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, Richmond, TW9 3AB. The work was commissioned by The Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, due to the site's location within an Archaeological Priority Area and the Royal Botanic Gardens are themselves a World Heritage Site and a Grade I Registered Historic Park and Garden. The watching brief monitored approximately 58 sets of groundworks associated with the construction of the new garden, including replacing the former Treetop Towers Children's Play Area and incorporating a larger area to the south/ southwest. The works exposed a 17th century garden wall feature comprised of unfrogged red brick which measured up to 0.6m in width and 0.5m in height. A possible buttress or gate was also exposed. Additionally, a 'ha-ha' or 'sunken feature' was exposed. The ha-ha was dug in 1834 and backfilled in 1895, and measured to around 7.26m in width. The archaeological features were encountered at a depth of c0.3m (6.3-6.2mOD
