Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by CgMs Consulting to undertake an archaeological trial trench evaluation and Pleistocene test pit survey on land at the former Stonehouse Hospital, Dartford, Kent. The archaeological evaluation comprised 10 trenches and 10 Pleistocene test pits dug to 3.5m bgl. The trial trenching has shown that severe truncation of the original ground level has been undertaken, no doubt in an attempt to level the ground prior to the erection of buildings. To the north of the Site signs of severe truncation with a thin layer of topsoil overlying modern made ground, observed in some cases to be 1m in thickness. Again this material was seen to directly overlie the gravel formation across the field. Trenches 10 and 11 produced evidence of the previous formal gardens in this area. The walls correspond to historic mapping of the area dating to 1909 and later. These walls are believed to have formed separate gardens for male and female patients who were housed apart during their residency at the hospital. Remnants of a cinder path could also be seen in TR 11 which again corresponds to the historic mapping. This suggests that beneath the surface in this area more remains of the formal garden may survive relatively intact although truncated. The Pleistocene terrace deposits recorded during this project can be considered to be of low potetial for archaeological and palaeoenvironmental material, although with some potential for containing low densities of redeposited river-rolled Lower Palaeolithic artefacts.
