Abstract:		 Archaeology South-East was commissioned by CgMs Consulting Ltd on behalf of their client to undertake an archaeological evaluation and excavation at the Former Royal Mail Sorting Office, London Road, Twickenham, London Borough of Richmond Upon Thames in advance of the redevelopment of the site. Twelve archaeological evaluation trenches, measuring between 30.00m and 20.00m x 2.00m were excavated on the site. Two trenches were shortened and slightly moved due to spatial constraints. A mitigation area measuring 10.00m by 10.00m was excavated on the location of Trench 8. Natural Kempton Park gravels were observed throughout the western half of the site, where the natural geology was overlain by modern made ground deposits. In the eastern portion of the site, alluvial clays overlay the gravels. A single geotechnical borehole recorded a complex sequence of peat, gravel and alluvium possibly representing an isolated preservation of pre-Holocene deposits. The majority of the site was devoid of alluvium, most likely due to modern development, and where alluvium was present it was inorganic and of low palaeoenvironmental potential. The alluvium was cut by one possibly later prehistoric feature and overlain by structural remains likely to be associated with later use of a brewery which occupied the site between the 17th and early 20th centuries. The latest masonry consisted of a granite cobbled surface which may have been laid at the end of the life of the brewery or formed part of an early 20th century Council Depot building constructed on the site.
