Abstract:		 Between October and November 2007 an archaeological evaluation was undertaken along the route of the proposed Isle of Grain Gas Transmission Pipeline. The route corridor was 21km long, and located on the Hoo Peninsula, linking Shorne in the west, with the Isle of Grain in the east. A total of 67 evaluation trenches, 13 contingency trenches, 15 test pits and 34 Palaeoenvironmental test pits (reported on separately) were excavated, all within a 36m wide pipeline easement. Archaeological deposits were recorded along much of the pipeline route, and although heavily truncated in many places, were often exposed between 300mm and 500mm below the ground surface. Furthermore, a number of discrete archaeologically sensitive areas were revealed, including evidence for Neolithic/Mesolithic, Late Bronze Age, Romano-British, Iron Age, and Anglo-Saxon activity. Most notably a Romano-British industrial site with a probable pottery kiln was recorded, as well as a Late Bronze Age settlement, or possibly funerary site, and what may have been a small scale industrial site, also belonging to the Late Bronze Age. The results of the evaluation have been used in conjunction with proceeding stage 1 archaeological research (Field Walking and Geophysical Surveys and a Desk Based Assessment), to highlight those areas with the highest potential for significant surviving archaeological deposits.
