Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology (WA) was commissioned by Amey plc on behalf of Kent County Council to carry out a programme of archaeological evaluation trenching on land at the station car park at Rathmore Road, Gravesend, Kent (NGR 564609, 173975). These works are associated with the realignment of Rathmore Road, which forms part of Phase 3 of the wider Gravesend Transport Quarter scheme. A total of twelve trenches were excavated across the site in April 2016. A 19th/early 20th century rubbish pit and four linear features were revealed in three of the trenches. The linear features contained no datable material; two parallel gullies were probably post-medieval in date relating to the market gardening known to have been carried out in this area over a 130 year timespan since at least the 1830's. Modern concrete footings and services relating to the Timber Yard/Tyre depot buildings fronting Stone Street had truncated any archaeological deposits in the eastern side of the site. The evaluation uncovered no archaeological remains of significance. |
