Abstract: |
An archaeological Watching Brief was carried out on a programme of ground works at Brenchley Gardens, Maidstone. This involved ground reduction as part of garden re-landscaping works. The excavation of a single trench was observed, in association with scanning of the spoil produced during the course of the works. During the Watching Brief a small quantity of disarticulated human remains was recovered from the trench. The remains are thought to represent up to 15 individuals, 12 adults and 3 juveniles, who had been buried in the post-medieval cemetery associated with St. Faith's Chapel. By the mid 1870s the cemetery had been re-landscaped and converted into municipal use as Brenchley Gardens. |
