Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned to carry out an archaeological evaluation through a programme of trial trenching of a 2.40ha parcel of land located at Berengrave Nursery, Rainham, Kent ME8 7NJ. The evaluation area is centred on NGR 581509 166665. The archaeological evaluation comprised the excavation of 18 trial trenches and 5 hand excavated Test Pits across the site. Due to onsite conditions several of these had to be reduced in length or adjusted from their proposed positions. One of which (Trench 17) was aborted. The evaluation results have identified low level activity concentrated to the south which remain undated. Two archaeological features revealed in Trench 18 are of limited archaeological significance likely acting as a hedgerow and a former field drain. The evaluation results have identified a low level of past activity. The colluvial deposit observed in Trenches 13.2, 7, 9 and 11 was tested for the presence of a flint scatter by hand excavated test pits though this material to the chalk bedrock below. Although several flint pieces were recovered from the Test Pits these are believed to derive from the Late Neolithic/Bronze Age periods but are technically undated. The quantity of struck flint found in the 1996 investigations further to the east would suggest that this was a small distinct area of activity that does not extend into this evaluation.
