Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned to initially undertake a 6 trench archaeological evaluation of a parcel of land located in The Old Sorting Office, Charlton Green, Dover, Kent CT16 2PS ('the site'). The evaluation area was centred on NGR 631467 142186. The archaeological evaluation was to excavate, investigate and record 6 trenches each measuring 30m x 1.80m with a geoarchaeological test pit at one end of each trench, however due to onsite constraints and previous watching brief results a new strategy was agreed and implemented consisting of the excavation of 17 test pits measuring c.2m by 2m and located within the original trench layout. The presence of a small area of buried soil in the far south eastern part of the site suggests that a small area of original surface may survive in this location, the remainder of the site has been severely truncated and any archaeological deposits have been removed by previous construction and landscaping related activities. Natural geology was seen in the test pits although no features or artefacts of Palaeolithic / prehistoric date were identified during this course of archaeological investigation. The archaeological assessment of land at The Old Sorting Office, Charlton Green shown that former construction and development had a substantial negative impact on the majority of the site and confirmed that there is a low potential for remains of any period across the site.
