Abstract: |
A programme of Historic Building Recording and an archaeological watching brief was undertaken by AOC Archaeology Group at the site of Horton Kirby Ground Water Treatment Works, Ray's Hill, Horton Kirby, Kent. The archaeological investigation consisted of a Level 2 Record of five reused water treatment tanks, and the monitoring of the excavation of service runs and manholes by means of a watching brief. Analysis identified that the five tanks had originally been used as Lancashire boilers during the early 20th century and converted to be used as contact tanks during the 1950s. The sequence of deposits identified during the watching brief are of limited archaeological significance, primarily representing the accumulation of undisturbed soil horizons overlying natural flinty gravel. Prior to the 20th century the site appears to have been marginal ground unaffected by significant human activity. |
