Abstract:		 Between July and October 2018 the Canterbury Archaeological Trust (CAT) undertook an archaeological watching brief of groundworks associated with the construction of a new buried sewage system at land between Eastchurch and Warden Bay (Leysdown Connection), Isle of Sheppey, Kent. The work comprised the monitoring of two schemes, the installation of a new Gravity Sewer near Eastchurch and a Rising Main at Warden Bay. Both schemes passed through open farmland and required the machine removal of topsoil and disturbed subsoil along their complete routes, with a combined total length of 1100m and an area of 15240m2. Underlying geology, composed of London Clay, was exposed along the complete length of both monitored schemes. Three archaeological features were identified along the route of the Warden Bay scheme. These comprised a small pit, a ploughed out linear field boundary and the concrete foundations of a former agricultural building. The pit was infilled with a concentration of burnt flint and daub and was thought to be a field oven or fire. The daub was undiagnostic and could not be dated. The field boundary was post-medieval, or later, in date and conformed to the existing field system. The surviving building foundation utilised concrete footings and available aerial photographic and map data suggesting it was constructed at some time in the second half of the twentieth century. No archaeological remains were present along the route of the Eastchurch scheme.
