Abstract:		 A programme of archaeological and geoarchaeological evaluation was undertaken at the land to the rear of 22, The Charne, Otford, Kent. The work was undertaken between the 15th and 16th of April 2009 on behalf of Croudace Homes. Four evaluation trenches initially sampled the surface archaeology and two geo-archaeological test pits, at the end of two of the trenches, investigated the geological sequence. The evaluation trenches revealed only features, representing modern activity. The first natural horizon varied in depth from 60.58 metres OD to the north of the site and 59.9 metres OD to the east of the site. The lack of archaeological remains may indicate that this area was part of the flood plain of the River Darent in antiquity and therefore holds little potential for archaeology The geoarchaeological test pits revealed weathered Holocene alluvium overlying 1st terrace gravels of the River Darent. These comprised up to 1.5m of sub-rounded gravels from a variety of sources including the Lower Greensand to the south and Tertiary and Solifluction deposits of the local chalk gap. No artefacts, faunal remains or deposits likely to preserve other palaeoenvironmental remains were encountered.
