Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Medway Renaissance to undertake an archaeological watching brief during groundwork for the construction of a service trench and other associated works at the Dynamic Bus Facility development, Chatham, Medway, Kent. The watching brief in the service trench area comprised archaeological monitoring of topsoil strip to the south-east of the White House, the excavation of new soakaways to the south of the White House, the excavation of a trench for services in the north part of the Site and the excavation of shafts for the pumping station to the north of the service trench. Thick deposits of made ground were recorded across the Site and reached a depth of up to 5.25m below ground level, where waterlogged alluvial deposits were exposed. The made ground deposits are thought to have been associated with the historic land reclamation and subsequent land levelling, which was documented by the historic evidence. It is likely that the alluvial layers relate to marshland recorded prior to the 19th century development of the area. The 19th century White House was built in an area of reclaimed land and subsequent landscaping and no features or deposits predating the construction of the building were recorded. The brick foundations of the White House were constructed in the English bond. No features pre-dating the 19th century land reclamation and building construction were recovered and no datable material was retrieved from the alluvial deposits underlying the made ground layers.
