Abstract:		 The site lies on land within the Leybourne Grange complex (Site Centred: TQ 678 593). The overall area of the site is c. 47 hectares (ha) with about 11 ha scheduled for re-development. Previous archaeological evaluation by the Museum of London Archaeological Service (MoLAS 2003) identified an area of late Iron Age to Romano-British activity. The site is located within the grounds of the former Leybourne Castle (SAM 23023, c. 800m to the east of the site). Subsequently a Grange was built and then during the 20th Century the site was used as a hospital. The Environmental Impact Assessment (Chapter 11) indicated the site had potential for all periods, particularly the prehistoric, medieval and post-medieval periods. The site was evaluated between 10th and 21st December 2007. 28 trial trenches were excavated to a cumulative length of 632m. The natural geological drift deposits (Folkestone and Sandgate Beds) were encountered mostly at shallow depths across the development site. A total of ten linear features were identified and sampled. Three of the linear features (within Trenches 4, 5 and 20) contained prehistoric material including pottery sherds dated to between the mid/late Iron Age and Romano-British period. It is thought that the linear features in Trenches 4 and 5 are part of the remains of LIA/ Romano-British settlement known to exist in this area of the site. The linear feature in Trench 20 is also thought to be part of a mid to late Iron Age field system. The other six linear features (within Trenches 2, 16 and 24) produced either no dating evidence or CBM of a post medieval date. Other finds included a pit shaped feature identified and sampled in Trench 20 which contained prehistoric struck flint and prehistoric pottery dated to the Late Bronze Age. Five trenches were excavated along the line of the new access road. No archaeological remains were discovered in any of these trenches.
