Abstract: |
Oxford Archaeology (OA) carried out an archaeological evaluation from the 6th to 10th September 2004 at `Section E' of the proposed Fastrack route in Dartford, Kent (NGR TQ 5500 7330). This work was undertaken at the grounds of Darenth Valley Hospital, on behalf of Kent County Council (KCC). The evaluation comprised the excavation of four trenches located along this stretch of the Fastrack land take. No archaeological remains were revealed other than several struck flint flakes and a possible flint scraper retrieved from the subsoil. Further work was undertaken in` Section F', the stretch of the route that runs from Darenth Valley Hospital, to Bluewater (NGR 5700 7330). This comprised a watching brief on a 'de-stumping exercise' carried out by a team of ecologists from BABTIE and a walkover survey carried out in order to determine the presence and nature of a reported hollow-way to the north of Roman Watling Street. The watching brief results have confirmed that there was no archaeological potential in the area of 'de-stumping'. The walkover survey has revealed the existence of linear earthworks extending parallel to Watling Street, but their date could not be determined. |
