Abstract:		 Compass Archaeology were commissioned to undertake an archaeological watching brief between 13th March and 27th September 2018 on Thames Water mains rehabilitation works throughout the village of Shoreham, Kent, TN14. The watching brief was commissioned based on the findings of a Desk-Based Assessment and recommendations due to the historically sensitive character of Shoreham, and its medieval origins. The watching brief covered the excavation of 92 launch and receptor pits to facilitate the directional drilling installation method. An additional section of open cut trenching was observed. The pits measured no more than 2m long by 2m wide and up to 1.5m deep. The open cut measured c. 60m long, 0.45m wide and up to 1m deep. The stratigraphy varied across the village, but generally comprised of modern road make up (usually tarmac) overlying varying instances of post-medieval made ground, reworked natural and natural deposits. No archaeological features were recorded and only limited post-medieval finds were retrieved. A layer of red and yellow brick rubble was observed underlying the tarmac, samples taken indicate that they were mid- to late 19th century. Indicating that it was not related to the original construction of Shoreham Place (1838), but might be associated with later additional features to the grounds. Overall, the piecemeal nature of the groundworks means that a complete overview of the archaeological record of Shoreham could not be established. What has been made clear throughout the watching brief is that the archaeological potential of Shoreham lies outside the developed areas of the village.
