Abstract:		 On the 3rd and 7th August 2018 Compass Archaeology Ltd conducted an archaeological watching brief on land opposite 4 Priory Road, Dartford, DA1 2BL. This was during groundworks associated with the installation of a Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV) onto an existing water main. The programme of archaeological work entailed the monitoring of the excavation of a single open-cut trench, situated along the eastern side of Priory Road. The trench was heavily disturbed by the installation of modern services, especially in the eastern and southern parts. Nevertheless, it was possible to observe in section the existing road surface and bedding layer (0.15m thick) overlying a series of sandy/silty clay layers of made-ground containing post-medieval brick rubble (0.90m thick). It is thought that these layers may represent possible 18th/19th century bedding layers associated with an earlier version of Priory Road. The heavily compacted layers of chalk (0.15m thick) and flint pebbles (0.60m thick) recorded in the southern part of the trench may also correspond with the construction of an earlier road, or they may represent the backfill of an anomalous feature running parallel with the section north-south. A natural sandy clay deposit was observed in the north-western corner of the trench at a depth of 1.27m below ground level, sloping down eastwards where it reached the trench base at 1.33m below ground level.
