Abstract:		 Borehole survey In November 2016, ARCA performed a watching brief on geotechnical boreholes and trial pits drilled and excavated by Delta-Simons Environmental Consultants Limited on Land at Conington Road, Borough of Lewisham, London. The White Chalk Subgroup bedrock sub-cropped between +0.55m OD and +8.75m OD. The Kempton Park Gravel Member was determined to sub-crop at between +6.49m OD and +4.29m OD. The Gravel is confined to the southern half of the site where it occupies an ancient channel of the River Ravensbourne. Heavily oxidised Fine Grained Alluvium overlay the gravels and was recorded only in one trial pit (TP203) at higher elevation in the north of the site (+8.01m OD). No organic remains were recovered. Thin strata of Head were recorded in the north of the site. The Fine Grained Alluvium and Head strata were truncated by modern Made Ground strata. The thickness of the Made Ground varied from 1.00m to 4.10m. An assessment of the BGS borehole records in the environs of the site revealed two boreholes (TQ37NE1551 and TQ37NE1552) that record fine grained strata with organic material located to the immediate west of the site. These strata sub-cropped at a lower elevation to the Kempton Park Gravels on the site and as a consequence probably do not sub-crop on the site. It is concluded that the deposits on the site have a low archaeological and palaeoenvironmental potential and it is recommended that no further work is required
