Abstract:
An evaluation was undertaken by trial pitting and trenching on the site of a proposed extension to the existing car park at the Waitrose car park at Gillingham. The site lay in an area of proven archaeological potential and incorporated surviving elements of a once extensive set of earthwork enclosures, platforms, trackways and other features shown by previous excavation to relate to a former suburb of the medieval town of Gillingham. Evidence uncovered included a medieval wall footing at the northern end of the site and possible Middle-Saxon industrial evidence in the southern zone. The central portion of the site contained extensive evidence for settlement and agricultural activity of 12th-14th century date. Mesolithic and Romano-British finds were also recovered. The southern and northern ends of the site were likely to be utilised as open green space areas, but the central portion was likely to be affected adversely. [Au(adp)]
