Abstract:		 An archaeological excavation was undertaken by Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd. at the Elephant and Castle Leisure Centre between the 30th July 2012 and the 2nd of April 2013. The earliest deposits encountered above the natural gravels comprised silts and clays associated with transgressive marine episodes from either the Thames itself or a relict channel. A layer of peat was also revealed and is believed to be mid-late Bronze Age in date. The earliest feature encountered was a large ditch which was backfilled between the late 18th and mid 19th century with refuse from local industries. A large red brick wall was also erected as the cemetery of St Mary Newington was expanded. During the mid 19th century the ditch was backfilled, the wall was partially removed and a large brick structure consisting of 25 crypts was built as the churchyard was again expanded. Between 1834/5 - 1854 the new area of open ground was then used as a cemetery and c. 300 burials were removed during the excavation process. In 1871 a decision was made to move St Mary's in order to widen the road and the church was demolished. A new church was consecrated in 1874 however, and the footings of St Gabriel's were partially revealed during the excavation. Properties fronting onto St Gabriel Street were also revealed.
