Abstract:		 Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd was commissioned by RPS Planning and Development on behalf of London Array Ltd to undertake an archaeological watching brief on land at Cleve Hill, Graveney, Kent. This work was carried out as a condition of planning permission for a new electrical substation associated with a new offshore wind farm. The watching brief was carried out in 2009, during the removal unexploded ordnance (UXO); topsoil stripping; the reduction of Cleve Hill for the substation and the excavation of a pile trench. Although Iron Age features were recorded during an earlier evaluation, none were observed during the watching brief. This was because the subsoil which sealed the features was not removed from the area of archaeological interest. Roman and medieval pottery, and an 18th century crotal bell were recovered from the topsoil, although this overlay 20th century made ground in part of the site. The tailfin of a British mortar and 19 German shells, all Second World War, were recovered during the removal of UXO. The site of Cleve Marsh was used as the location for a 'Starfish' Decoy site designed to divert enemy bombers from attacking the Royal Naval Dockyard at Sheerness. The decoy site was designed to look like Sheerness at night; the German shells indicate its success. The Royal Navy decoy site was kept so secret that at one time it came under mortar attack from the British army, which may explain the presence of the British mortar.
