Abstract:		 A single evaluation trench 3m by 2m was excavated in two sections, an eastern side within a relatively modern cellar and a western section outside of the cellar. The ground was broken out and cleared by contractors under MOLA supervision. The east side was excavated first by machine, through lose rubble backfill of a modern cellar, two walls of which provided secure sides to the trench, leading to the east end of the trench being 170mm wider than the planned 2.0m width. The trench was excavated to 2.5m below ground level, where a concrete floor was encountered. Coring and drilling through the concrete cellar slab has demonstrated that it was 500mm thick. As this depth was at the maximum limit of the trench excavation (3m below ground level), given the proximity of the 6-12 Tabard Street buildings party wall, this floor was not broken out and the cellar was backfilled. West of the cellar wall, the trench had to be shored on 3 sides. It was excavated to 3.0m below ground level but only modern fills were exposed. The cellar wall had a 300mm-wide offset foundation at 2.5m below ground level – the same level as the floor on the opposite side. East of that only loose brick rubble was exposed. Modern truncation had removed potential for archaeological remains to 3m below the ground surface (from 4m to 1m AOD). Modern truncation may continue below this level but operational constraints and the proximity of an adjacent party wall, limited investigations to this depth. Comparison with features excavated on adjacent 6-12 Tabard Street would indicate a potential for deep-cut archaeological features to 0.5m below OD (-0.5m OD).
