Abstract:		 A geo-archaeological survey consisting of two boreholes was carried out. The first borehole revealed natural sandy Pleistocene gravels beneath an organic clayey sand. This was sealed by a layer of orangey-brown peat, representing a waterlogged marshland environment, beneath a deposit of silty clay indicating a possible flood event or the presence of a nearby river channel. A series of alluvial layers, probably relating to mudflats, were sealed by modern made ground and backfill. The second borehole contained a sequence consisting of natural Pleistocene gravels beneath alluvium and clay silt suggesting the presence of a nearby fluvial channel. Above this, a peaty clay silt layer and a deposit of organic clay with plant inclusions indicating a marshland environment were sealed by a further alluvial layer and a deposit of made ground. Above this, a layer of silty clay, probably representing mudflats, was present beneath modern made ground with some reworked alluvium.
