Abstract:		 The archaeological field evaluation was carried out prior to redevelopment of the site. An evaluation trench was excavated in the south of the site. Within the trench a north/south Victorian wall foundation, probably associated with the Royal Freemasons' School which occupied the site from 1853 to 1934, was recorded in the west of the trench. Post-medieval garden or plough soil deposits overlay the subsoil and terrace gravels which were recorded at a height of 15.30m OD. Trench 1 was located at the south of the site and measured c 8m east/west by c 3m north/south. The trench was machine excavated through deposits until a light orange-brown silty sand with inclusions of gravel was encountered at a level of c 15.80m OD, this was interpreted as the subsoil and was a relatively clean deposits. A sondage through the deposit was excavated in the centre of the trench another c 0.50m down to reveal the terrace gravel at a height of c 15.30m OD. Above the natural subsoil was a 0.30m thick deposit of dark brown, silty clay with inclusions of small fragments of ceramic building material, clay pipe stems and occasional animal bone fragments. This appears to be a post-medieval plough or garden soil. At the west end of the trench was located a large north/south aligned wall foundation comprised of Victorian stock bricks and a hard lime mortar. This is probably the remains of foundations of the school that was located on the site prior to the construction of the estate. Various services cut the trench, primarily disused drains and cast iron services pipes cut through garden soil and above this deposit was a relatively thick layer of concrete and its formation deposits subsequently overlain by the existing tarmac.
