Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Pre-Construct Archaeology at Mayfield Grammar School, Pelham Road, Gravesend DA11 0JE. The site is located c.767m to the south-west of Gravesend Town Centre. The fieldwork was carried out between the 21st and 22nd of October 2019. One evaluation trench and three geoarchaeological test pits were excavated. The earliest layer encountered in the sequence was the degraded chalk bedrock layer, which had been cracked and broken through frost and water action. It was recorded at its highest in Trench 1 at 19.09m OD and at its lowest in Test Pit 1 at 18.96m OD. The undulating, degraded chalk bedrock surface contained pockets of reddish mid brown sandy clay brickearth drift geology which contained occasional flint nodule inclusions. The natural geology of brickearth in Test Pit 2 had been subject to bioturbation (either through animal burrowing or by the presence of a planting pit) but which did not contain any archaeological material. The layers of made ground recorded underneath the external surfaces of Test Pits 2 and 3 contained residual, fragmentary ceramic building material (CBM) in very small quantities. These were likely to have derived from either the disparate building activities in the immediate area or had been introduced via manuring when the study site was still undeveloped land prior to the 20th century. All trenches were devoid of any archaeological remains or deposits, neither were there any further residual finds which would have suggested any prior activity in the immediate area.
