Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Geoarchaeological investigations (including five new geoarchaeological boreholes) and a programme of deposit modelling was carried out in order to clarify the nature of the sub-surface stratigraphy, and to evaluate the potential of the sedimentary sequences for reconstructing the environmental history of the site and its environs. Towards the middle and north of the site a sequence of Wandle/Shepperton Gravel is recorded, overlain by variable thicknesses (up to ca. 1.5m) of Holocene Alluvium within a possible palaeochannel associated with the River Wandle. Towards the east, west and south of the site, outside of the limits of the inferred palaeochannel, a sequence of Kempton Park Gravel is overlain in places by thin horizons (generally less than 0.5m) of Holocene Alluvium. Within the possible palaeochannel the Wandle/Shepperton Gravel is directly overlain in places by Peat or possible soil horizons, up to 0.7m thick and generally recorded at between 0.5 and 1.85m OD. Subsequent assessment of the Peat and possible soil horizons found the Peat to be of Roman age with flora typical of damp, open environments and with evidence of human activity. No material suitable for dating was found in the possible soil horizon, but its pollen assemblage is indicative of an Early Holocene (Mesolithic ) date. The results are consistent with other investigations in this area of the valley of the River Wandle.
