Abstract: |
Compass Archaeology conducted an archaeological watching brief during installation of a pressure-reducing valve on existing mains sewer on the west side of Highfield Road, Dartford, outside of the Magistrates Court. The watching brief was deemed necessary due to the site's location within the Archaeological Priority Area of the 'Early Town' and the Dartford Town Centre Conservation Area. A single pit was dug to access the mains sewer dug to a depth of up to 1.5m. Natural geology was not reached, only 19th century made ground including a previous road surface was exposed at a depth of c530mm below existing ground surface. |
