Abstract:		 Archaeological evaluation conducted by Canterbury Archaeological Trust (20 May and 22 May 2019) on land at 13a Monastery Street, Canterbury, Kent CT1 1NJ. Work followed archaeological desk-based assessment in 2009 and watching brief conducted during geotechnical site investigation works in February 2019. The geotechnical works indicated presence of an archaeological sequence extending to depths of 1.7m and 4.7m bgl, potentially representing refuse pits and clay/gravel extraction. The present evaluation was not able to extend to a sufficient depth to investigate this lower archaeological sequence. Two evaluation trenches (10m by 1.4m) provided a 5% sample of the proposed development area, which is to comprise four residential units with parking. The earliest dated archaeology included a medieval chalk and flint wall and chalk floor in trench 2 at a depth of 0.97m bgl. This was overlain by a deposit containing pottery dated to AD 1200-1400 at a depth of 0.72m bgl. Deposits and features of early/late post-medieval date (AD 1600-1800) were recorded in both trenches. In trench 1 these extended to a depth of up to 2.07m bgl and included thick soil deposits cut by a later foundation trench for a brick wall, potentially demarcating the southern boundary of a formal garden as shown on the first edition ordnance survey map of 1874. In trench 2, two post-medieval refuse pits truncated the earlier medieval features and were overlain by further later soil layers. Both trenches were capped by an existing concrete hardstanding associated with a former office/workshop and builder's yard.
