Abstract:		 This report details the results of an archaeological evaluation undertaken by Pre-Construct Archaeology at Chatham Waterfront, Medway Street, Chatham. The site is located on the north-western edge of Chatham Town on the south bank of the River Medway adjacent to the Brook Low Level Pumping Station and is centred at National Grid Reference TQ 75625 68095 The fieldwork was carried out over twenty days between the 11th of November and 6th of December 2019. Sixteen of the proposed twenty trenches were excavated, whilst four remained unexcavated due to the presence of live surfaces or concrete encountered at a thickness which exceeded 1.2m below ground level (BGL). The earliest layers encountered consisted of a dark grey to black clayey silt which contained fragmentary CBM, pottery, clay tobacco pipe and glass, and which possessed charcoal, degraded chalk and mortar inclusions. These deposits were interpreted as either as layers of made ground or the accretion of occupation material dating to the late 18th to early 19th century. This is likely to date to the period of land reclamation prior to the development of Bessent's and Holborn Wharves within the study area. A number of brick-built walls, drains and floor surfaces were uncovered which were the vestiges of the extensive building which took place within the study area in the later 19th century. A small area of the old dockyard work-surface and Buildings 2 to 7 all belong to this phase. The architectural remains were overlain by modern 20th century made ground and concrete and tarmac surfaces which comprised the modern car parking area on the site.
