Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned to undertake a single trench archaeological evaluation of land located to the rear of Lydith, Pollyhaugh, Eynsford, Kent. The evaluation area is centred on NGR 554152 165531. The evaluation was carried out to fulfil a planning condition placed on an application submitted to Sevenoaks District Council for the construction of a single detached house. The evaluation was required to establish as far as possible, the presence/absence, extent and character of detectable archaeological remains within the site. The result of the evaluation revealed several layers of made ground up to a depth of 0.86m below ground level (BGL) overlying a 0.38m to 0.70m thick buried topsoil which in turn sealed natural geology. A modern brick structure measured 0.85m in thickness which formed a previous retaining garden wall for a car park was encountered to the north of the trench. No other archaeological features or finds were identified during the course of the investigation. The evaluation area comprised a raised flat and level surface at the rear end of a garden which had been landscaped in the past. The adjoining properties had been constructed into terraces also. It is clear that the present site has been constructed over a previous retaining wall and parking area. The wall recorded in the trench is the earlier phase retaining wall to the terrace. Beneath the made ground a topsoil deposit overlying the natural geology was recorded. No archaeological features or finds were present.
