Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East was commissioned to undertake an archaeological watching brief by Joyce and Partners on behalf of their clients Stanholm Residential Care Home Edenbridge. The watching brief was in the gardens of the care home and included the site of a demolished extension building associated with the main building, henceforth referred to as 'The site'. The work was carried out from 18th June to 30th July 2009. Work involved the excavation of three test pits to assess the nature of the buildings foundations, and the reduction of the ground level from the original ground surface to create a surface from which to build. A total of 163m2 of ground reduction was monitored. The interventions were devoid of archaeology and presented a sequence of natural clay overlain by subsoil into which surviving 19th and 20th century masonry and drains were cut, the sequence was sealed by garden topsoil. |
