Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by The Environment Partnership (TEP), on behalf of BritNed Developments Limited, to undertake a watching brief on the construction of the proposed BritNed Interconnector on the Isle of Grain, Kent between NGR's 589267 176286 and 588463 174550. Subsequent to an archaeological Desk-Based Assessment (DBA), which identified a low potential for the survival of archaeological remains along the proposed route, an archaeological watching brief, which comprised monitoring visits to works undertaken in the region of the Isle of Grain Scheduled Monument (34297) comprising Coastal Artillery Defences and during entry pit construction for Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) works followed by implementation of a reporting protocol covering the remainder of the works, was completed by Wessex Archaeology to provide further information on any buried archaeological remains along the route. Three monitoring visits were made during the course of the groundworks on the route, covering approximately 10% of its entire length. Small quantities of modern pottery and ceramic building material (CBM) were noted within modern made ground deposits. Underlying brickearth or chalk substrata was not encountered. The majority of the remaining route was below existing roads or areas of deep modern overburden and did not impact upon possible archaeological levels. No archaeological features or deposits were identified during any of the watching brief visits, no finds were retained and no environmental samples were taken. Following these visits no reports were made by construction staff via the agreed protocol. The watching brief visits were undertaken between 14th July 2009 and 4th August 2009 with the subsequent reporting protocol in place from 4th August 2009 to 24th August 2010.
