Abstract:		 Archaeology South-East (ASE), the contracting division of the Centre for Applied Archaeology at the UCL Institute of Archaeology, were commissioned by Rydon Homes Ltd, on behalf of West Sussex County Council, to undertake an archaeological evaluation at a proposed housing site in the former grounds of Tonbridge Grammar School for Girls. The work took place in two phases from the 6th to the 8th April and from the 16th to the 18th of August 2010. A total of 13 trenches were excavated across the site. Natural weathered Wadhurst Clay Deposits were encountered at a maximum height of 63.55m AOD to the south of the site, falling away to 47.47m AOD to the north. No archaeological features were encountered at the site and only finds of late post-medieval date were recovered. A great deal of truncation due to terracing of 19th/20th century date was evidenced at the site. This would have served to destroy any archaeological features had they been present. The results of this evaluation therefore class as negative evidence and the proposed development should not have a major impact on the Heritage Resource of Tonbridge.
