Abstract:		 Border Archaeology (BA) has been instructed by South East Water (SEW) to undertake Archaeological Observation (‘watching brief’) of the proposed 05-1091/ 76099 Forstal Road Offsite Developer Main - Forstal Road Aylesford Kent. The main route (Trench 004) ran along the carriageway within a designated Conservation Area for a distance of 86m (between NGR TQ 73088 58980 and TQ 73179 58945). Three trial trenches (Trench 001, Trench 002 & Trench 003) were also excavated together with two additional trenches (Trench 005 & Trench 006) at either end of Trench 004 to facilitate connections; six trenches were thus excavated in total. The works were undertaken to a depth of up to 1.2m below existing ground level. The remains of a square concrete structure (004005) in Trench 004 have been interpreted as a possible WWII ‘mine-pit’, although there is no recorded evidence for such a feature in this location and the remains could equally represent an item of modern street furniture, such as a traffic bollard. A small amount of post-medieval and modern pottery, together with a fragment of medieval ceramic building material, was recovered from modern road subbase material (006004). However, this material will have been imported from elsewhere and the finds incorporated within it are therefore of little interpretative value. Although Forstal Road is a fairly long-established routeway, the deposits encountered during the groundworks were largely associated with modern road construction activity and service installation, with no evidence found of earlier road surfaces.
