Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken in advance of the construction of new housing. The watching brief confirmed, as suggested by the earlier evaluation, that much of the site had been subject to extensive truncation during terracing of the hillside to create building platforms for former industrial structures on the site. Profiles of the former land surface were seen to survive under College Road, as ground on the down-slope side of the terraces had needed to be made up. Remedial works to the eastern perimeter walls showed the construction of the main perimeter wall with two subsidiary internal walls. Together these walls had two probable functions; firstly to assist retaining the ground up slope, and outside the dockyard (where Dock Road currently ran), and secondly to provide access ways (possibly from Dock Road) to the newly acquired areas of the dockyard. All the walls were thought to be contemporary, with some later alterations, and related to the dockyards expansion eastwards in 1811, and the modernisation of the timber yards and timber conversion facilities at Chatham by the installation of Brunel's Steam Saw Mills between 1812 and 1814.
