Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East were commissioned by 4Delivery Ltd to carry out an archaeological watching brief on land at Appledore Waste Treatment Waterworks, Appledore, Kent during the construction of upgraded waste water treatment facilities including a large reed bed filtration system and associated pipework and inspection chambers. The work was undertaken between 13th March 2012 and 15th March 2012. No archaeological artefacts or features were identified during the monitoring of these works which involved the stripping of deposits down to natural across the site. No remains of medieval Appledore were found. The underlying geology is Tunbridge Wells Sand and was identified across the site at a depth of between 0.50m and 0.95m BGL. The site was sealed by made ground and mid brown clayey silt topsoil reflecting apparent truncation of the natural deposits in the southern half of the site. It is likely that earlier groundworks relating to the waste water treatment works are responsible for this. |
