Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Mercia Crematoria Developments Ltd. to conduct a detailed gradiometer survey over land to the north of Gravesend Road (A226), near Chalk, Kent ahead of the development of the site into a crematorium, cemetery, woodland burial area and nature reserve. The site comprises an arable field to the north of Gravesend Road (A226), which had been recently harvested at the time of survey, and occupies gradual sloping land. The gradiometer survey was conducted using a Bartington Grad 601-2 dual fluxgate gradiometer instrument and has demonstrated the presence of anomalies of probable and possible archaeological interest within the survey area, along with regions of increased magnetic response and two modern services. A group of sinuous parallel ditch-like anomalies have been identified towards the centre of the survey area; these may have formed a trackway. Located just to the south east of these, is a single ditch-like feature which may represent a field boundary. Across the Site, earlier field divisions are represented by spreads of increased magnetic response. Within the centre and at the eastern end of the survey area, remnants of ridge and furrow were identified. Weak linear and curvilinear trends were also observed throughout the dataset which may be archaeological in origin but more likely to be the result of agricultural activity. A number of small discrete positive anomalies were also identified across the survey area, some of which may be pits. The nature of these archaeological features suggests a low archaeological significance.
