Abstract:		 An evaluation comprised the excavation and recording of twenty 50m long evaluation trenches within two fields (Site A and Site B), targeted on geophysical anomalies identified during a survey undertaken by Archaeological Surveys Ltd. in March and April 2015. The evaluation revealed traces of a series of shallow gullies in both Sites, with a more developed rectilinear drainage system, aligned broadly on a northwest-southeast axis, in the low-lying and waterlogged Site B. Where dating evidence was recovered, it was consistent with a late 19th/early 20th century date for the rectilinear system, although some gullies were undated and varied from the predominant axis and may belong to a different phase. A major focus of the evaluation was to ascertain the nature of a group of amorphous anomalies in the centre-east part of Site A. The evaluation showed clearly that all are shallow periglacial features containing clayey deposits overlain by a superficial thin layer of sunken subsoil/topsoil which defined the features. Two Prehistoric probable flint blades were found relatively close together (the northern end of Trench 17 and the eastern end of Trench 20) but both were located in subsoil deposits. There were no associated features with the stray finds and it is likely that they were residual, perhaps deriving from the already recognised Prehistoric activity at Kingsdown Crematorium.
