Abstract:		 Between 31st March and 6th April 2009 Archaeology South-East was commissioned by Molyneux Architects to undertake a programme of archaeological work in advance of a proposed new Church Hall at St Mary the Virgin Church, Stone, near Dartford, Kent (centred NGR 557647 174810). Eleven c.1m² test-pits were hand-excavated within the churchyard to assess the archaeological potential of the site and the impact of the proposed development on this potential. Although hand-excavation ceased at a depth of 1m, hand-auguring was undertaken beyond this depth to establish the depth of natural geology within the grounds. Moderate disarticulated human bone and coffin fittings were uncovered during the work. Unmarked articulated burials were encountered at a minimal depth of 0.5m below ground surface at the south of the site. Redeposited natural chalk was uncovered in the southwest corner of the site overlain by a made ground dump, which was dated by a button to the mid 19th-early 20th century. More recent graves cut through these deposits and truncate the underlying garden soil, which suggests that this part of the site was outside of the original graveyard and has been incorporated into the present day cemetery within the last two-hundred years. Artefactual evidence, although predominantly residual, dated from the 10th century through to the 20th century. Natural chalk bedrock was encountered at a maximum height of 25.03m AOD at the south of the site, but had been truncated out in most areas during the excavation of graves in the north.
