Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by GPM Partnership to undertake an archaeological evaluation on land at Vere Road Cark Park, Broadstairs, Kent. The Site is located on land at the northern end of Vere Road, approximately 400m to the west of the historic core of Broadstairs and its harbour. The Site currently comprises a car and coach park with areas of planting and landscaping, a disused toilet block and recycling facilities to the south. Six Trial Trenches measuring 15m in length by 1.80m wide were excavated and were targeted upon the development footprint. Historic Site levelling, no doubt associated with the construction of the current car park, was evident across the Site. Made ground was recorded up to a depth of 0.23m below ground level (bgl) in Trench 2. Subsoil/hillwash was recorded underlying the made ground in Trenches 1, 4, 5 and 6 up to a depth of 0.93m below ground level (bgl) (Trench 1). Colluvium/hillwash was recorded underlying the made ground in Trenches 2 and 3 up to a depth of 1.50m below ground level (bgl) (Trench 3) possibly the result of a dry valley running through the centre of the site. Natural Chalk geology was recorded directly underlying the made ground/hardcore at the south of the site. The Site was observed to slope from south to north. The archaeological evaluation did not reveal any features or deposits of archaeological significance, three abraded small pieces of Iron Age pottery and several struck flints were recovered from the colluvial deposits.
