Abstract: |
Between October 2017 and January 2018, an archaeological watching brief was carried out by Canterbury Archaeological Trust (CAT) at Venners, Wessex Drive, Erith DA8 3AA during initial stages of development. The works comprised targeted monitoring of groundworks with provision for additional intensive archaeological work if archaeology or significant geoarchaeological deposits were identified. The first phase of work, comprising an evaluation to an approved written scheme of investigation (WSI), took place in November 2016 (Rady and Scott 2017). This indicated that Pleistocene deposits, including those which form part of the 'Crayford Brickearths' were present across the footprint of the proposed development. The watching brief proved to be negative and no archaeological finds, features or deposits of any significance were encountered. The lowest exposed geological deposits were Crayford 'Brickearths' overlain by a shallow fluvial channel sealed by a silty clay subsoil or colluvium. |
