Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was conducted by the Canterbury Archaeological Trust on land to the rear of No. 73 High Street Orpington, Kent BR6 0JF (NGR 546518 166635 centred). The works were commissioned by Kent and Sussex Properties in advance of proposed development of the land for the erection of 5 two-storey terraced houses with accommodation in roof space and associated car parking (planning reference DC/13/03607/FULL1). The evaluation comprised two trenches approximately 15m in length both located within the footprint of the Proposed Development Area (PDA). The results identified the natural geology as Taplow Gravel at a height of 52.00m OD approximately 1m below the existing ground surface. The gravel was cut by a 'dry' natural stream gully aligned south-east to north-west. The gully and the south of the site were covered with a deposit of calluvium that was in turn overlaid by a Head sandy clay deposit. The natural geological surface may have been truncated in the late nineteenth century and was further cut by at least three small pits. A thick layer of garden and plough soil sealed the earliest pits and the remainder of the natural. Cutting the soil deposits were a number of late nineteenth- to early twentieth-century pits that contained refuse material with concentrations of fish bone. The area was overlaid by modern leveling deposits. No significant archaeological features were encountered.
