Abstract:		 An evaluation was carried out at the proposed site of a superstore. Prehistoric artefacts dating from all periods from the Palaeolithic to the Iron Age had been found in the surrounding area, whilst an Iron Age ditch and traces of a settlement had been recorded. Roman remains had also been found in the area, and a hoard of Saxon coins had been found in Erith. Erith itself was an important ship-building centre during the Tudor period. During the evaluation, a post setting of unknown date, a natural channel and a 16th century ditch containing two sherds of early 16th century pottery were recorded. It was concluded that the results of the evaluation and of an earlier watching brief had demonstrated that much of the southern area of the development site had been badly affected by previous development. To the north, modern landfill had covered natural riverine deposits. However, there was some potential for archaeological survival, as shown by the features revealed within one of the six evaluation trenches, and by a large depression to the south of the trench. It was recommended that a watching brief should be undertaken in the event that deep service trenches were to be excavated within the areas of archaeological potential, in the south western parts of the site.
