Abstract: |
In October 2004, Oxford Archaeology (OA) carried out an archaeological watching brief during groundworks associated with new sections of the Dartford Fastrack Scheme in Dartford, Kent. The work was undertaken by OA on behalf of Kent County Council (KCC). This report covers Sections A, B and D of the Scheme. Separate reports have been prepared by OA for Sections C, E and F of the Scheme. In the event no archaeological monitoring was required for Sections A and D, as these parts of the new transport route lie wholly within built up areas and roadways. The Section B results are from the RAFA Memorial Hall/`Glaxo Field' at the junction of the A226 and the Darenth Road (NGR TQ 54500 73900. The watching brief revealed natural chalk sealed beneath alluvial deposits associated with the line of the River Darenth. A well and brick wall with associated brick floor were located and are probably part of the 19th century mill complex that stood on the site. A drainage ditch to the south of these was also of 19th or 20th century date. No earlier archaeological remains were encountered. |
