Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief on land at Lodge Hill, Chattenden, Medway, Kent was undertaken between the 7th July and the 26th August 2010. The monitoring was undertaken as an addition to a large, comprehensive series of geotechnical investigations which included boreholes, window samples and test pit excavation. Of the one hundred and eighty test pits excavated during the works, one hundred and seventy-two were observed directly by the on-site archaeologist, whilst the remaining eight were added to the archaeological record through information supplied by the Geotechnical engineer. The results from this watching brief suggest that the topography of the whole of study area has changed very little since its acquisition by the military in 1898. The data retrieved from this phase of work has highlighted extensive preservation of drift geology including areas of preserved alluvium. Truncation caused by the existing and earlier structures and associated cuttings may have caused severe, but generally localised destruction of any underlying deposits. Areas of surfacing and hard-standing are likely to have caused minimal, if any impact on underlying stratigraphy. |
