Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	An archaeological watching brief was carried out by Archaeology South-East on land to the rear of Stable Court, Rockdale Road, Sevenoaks, Kent (NGR: 553038 154465) for the 'Summerbank House' development.The watching brief was undertaken between November 2012 and March for Mansell Construction Ltd. on behalf of their client, Rockdale Housing Association Ltd. No significant archaeological remains have been identified during the watching brief. In addition to the two sub-square post-medieval pits which were encountered within the western end of the evaluation trench in 2009; two further late post-medieval features were observed during the watching brief. These consist of a small drainage ditch in the northwest of the site and a sub-rectangular rubbish pit along the southern terrace. Natural geology (Folkestone Beds) was encountered at 148.25m AOD in the north of the site and at 145.40m AOD in the south which demonstrates the significant natural slope at the site (dropping nearly 3m across c.30m). The overburden had a varied thickness of 0.7m to 1.5m across the site. All of the deposits recorded at the site relate to recent landscaping activities to do with terracing of the slope.
