Abstract:		 Archaeology South-East was commissioned by Halcrow Group Limited, on behalf of their client the Environment Agency, to undertake an archaeological watching brief during ground investigation in and around Sandwich, Kent. The ground investigation is in advance of the proposed Sandwich and Deal Flood Alleviation Scheme. With the possible exception of the suggested site of a Second World War anti-aircraft battery, no significant archaeological remains were identified in the farmland to the east of the Stonar Loop and North Downs Farm. However, the presence of an extensive organic rich layer below the Alluvium was confirmed; the potential of this deposit for environmental sampling and dating is high.The area around the Sandwich Quay slipway was apparently heavily disturbed in post-medieval/modern times. Substantial deep remains associated with a 19th-/20th-century 'gas works' were revealed, suggesting that early quay features have been destroyed in this location.The most significant archaeological remains were revealed during excavations located on within a section of the town moat connecting to the River Stour. A perhaps mid 16th-century dump deposit of mixed refuse lay immediately above Alluvium.
