Abstract:		 Border Archaeology (BA) has been instructed by South East Water (SEW) to undertake Archaeological Observation (or ‘watching brief’) of engineering groundworks relating to the proposed 13-1326 Wises Lane Mains Renewal Scheme extending along Wises Lane and Pond Farm Road, to the N and the S of Borden, approximately 1.5km SE of Sittingbourne Kent. Approximately 1.86km of 180mm water main pipeline are proposed, running between a connection at the junction of Pond Farm Road and Sutton Baron Road (NGR: TQ 87750 61949) and a second connection on Cryalls Lane (NGR: TQ 88563 63479). Directional drilling is proposed for the majority of the route, with approximately 150m of open-cut trenching between the junction of the route with School Lane (NGR: TQ 88158 62935) and its junction with The Street (NGR: TQ 88274 62969). Engineering depth is anticipated to be c.1m below existing ground level, with a possibility that directional drilling access pits may be slightly deeper. The pipeline runs through the Borden Conservation Area between NGR: TQ 88156 62936 and NGR: TQ 88335 63058. Archaeological monitoring was carried out between 19th February and 31st May 2019 on two sections of the route; the section extending from the northern terminus of the route through the village of Borden (from NGR: TQ 88563 63479 to TQ 88156 62936) and a section at the southern end of the route (from NGR: TQ 87750 61949 to TQ 87827 62290) running to the northwest of the extensive Roman villa site at Sutton Baron. The northern section of the pipeline scheme passed through the Borden Conservation Area (between NGR: TQ 88156 62936 and TQ 88335 63058) as designated by Kent County Council. The programme of works comprised directional drilling and open-cut trenching. Archaeological deposits, of post-medieval date, were only encountered in Trench 004 within the village of Borden, on Wises Lane in front of St Peter and St. Paul’s Church, and in Trench 006, approximately 75m NNE from the junction of Wises Lane/The Street. They comprised a mix of demolition rubble and domestic refuse and likely constitute ground raising or levelling deposits associated with road construction. Finds included pottery, glass, animal bone, oyster shell and metal materials such as a horseshoe and a copper half-penny of King George II dated 1753. No archaeologically significant features or deposits were uncovered during the programme of works and the findings are of local significance only.
