Abstract:		 A limited number of archaeological features and deposits were encountered during the watching brief. A large Roman ditch running perpendicular to the Old Kent Road was the most substantial. There were three other, less substantial ditches, none of which ran parallel to the road, which is thought to have Roman origins. A small pit, also of Roman date, was recorded truncating one of the ditches and a residual worked flint was recovered from the brickearth horizon. Natural gravelly clays were sealed by yellow brickearth and subsequent probable medieval/post-medieval plough soil was in turn covered by modern dumped deposits. This sequence was observed across the watching brief area. A 19th/early 20th century well was observed in the north/eastern side of the foundation trenches along with a 19th century basement further to the north. A 20th century underground tank was also partially exposed in the northern area of the site.
