Three evaluation trenches were excavated and two borehole samples collected on the site. Alluvial deposits, almost certainly associated with the Tyburn/Tachbrook/Kingschoole Sluice system were investigated and sampled. The existing building on the site had removed any layers or features associated with human activity that may once have existed on the site. There was therefore no evidence for the post-medieval development of the area. The results of the post excavation assessment showed that the site shares stratigraphic and environmental similarities with other sites across the Westminster and Pimlico area. A total of three facies were identified from Pleistocene (arctic climate) gravels through to Late Neolithc and later alluvial silt and, finally, modern made ground.
