Abstract: |
This report details the results of an archaeological watching brief on geotechnical investigations for land at Interface Land, Chatham, Kent. The site was split into eastern and western areas, with a total of 20 geotechnical test pits monitored, ten in each area. The watching brief was designed to establish if archaeology relating to the use of the dockyard and its associated buildings was present in the test pit locations. If archaeology was present, the test pit would be halted and relocated to prevent damage to heritage assets. Natural gravel and alluvial riverine deposits were seen at the base of some of the test pits, closest to the river. Sequences of late post-medieval and modern made ground were witnessed across the two sites. No archaeological features other than post-medieval made ground were identified. |
