Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by CgMs Consulting on behalf of Churchill Retirement Living (the Client), to carry out an archaeological evaluation and watching brief on land at 7 River Walk, Tonbridge, Kent. The Site covers approximately 0.15 hectares and is centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) 558881, 146434 (Figure 1). The archaeological works were required in compliance with Condition 12 of planning consent (Planning Application No. TM/11/02887/FL) granted by Kent County Council in relation to the demolition of an existing office block and redevelopment to create 31 sheltered apartments for the elderly including car parking and landscaping. The evaluation comprised the machine excavation of two archaeological trial trenches and the watching brief involved the monitoring of a foundation trench for a flood defence wall. All mechanical excavation was undertaken using a JCB fitted with a toothless grading bucket, under constant archaeological supervision. The previous development appears to have greatly impacted upon the potential for any surviving archaeological remains on the Site. The archaeological works revealed deep layers of made and disturbed ground exceeding 1.28m below ground level and no archaeological features or deposits were encountered. |
